Your Singhs today (Brampton edition)

Further to yesterday's post about the great success of Peel Regional Police's Project Ghost, we can report that the Peelers have arrested the man who made death threats against Brampton ON mayor Patrick Brown, the existence of which was revealed at the same time as the cops were crowing about their great victory in the war with the Sikh criminals who intest the Greater Toronto area.

Regular readers will not be surprised to learn that the man whose collar has been felt is 29-year-old Kanwarjyot Singh Manoria, a resident of Brampton.  He is charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. 

A source familiar with the investigation previously told CP24 that the threat was made via email to the mayor's office two to three weeks ago, and that his wife and son were also mentioned. A security detail was deployed to protect Brown’s home and family over the course of two weeks following the threat.

Mr Singh Manoria was arrested following the execution of search warrants and the seizure of electronic devices. "At this time, investigators believe the individual acted alone and is no longer an active threat to the mayor, his family or the community," police said on Wednesday.

Mr Singh Manoria was held in custody pending the customary and politically correct release on bail.

Your Singhs... errr, no... Muslims today (Greater Toronto edition)

Apparently not all the criminals of a non-white hue infesting the western part of the Greater Toronto Area (i.e. Brampton and Mississauga ON) are Sikhs. Agent 3 has just sent us a video (not worth posting here) of a presser given by the Peel Regional Police’s Central Robbery Bureau patting themselves on the back for taking down an organized criminal network responsible for more than 15 violent home invasions involving high-end vehicle and jewellery thefts across the GTA.

197 charges have been laid. The total value of stolen property is estimated at $1.8 million (about $1.3 million in real money).13 men, including five yoofs, were arrested. Here's the rogues gallery.

We're lucky to have this. It was quickly scrubbed from the cops' police blotter and from the stories on CTV News and CP24. I can't imagine why. Can you? Ed. found it elsewhere. Well done! If you can't read the names, scroll down for the lsit.

In their press release, the Peelers said that Project Ghost, as the Peelers call it, was initiated when a criminal network was identified to be connected to the following violent incidents: 

* On Aug. 1, 2024, at about 2:45 a.m., three suspects attempted to break into a home on Maybeck Drive in Brampton after targeting a BMW parked in the driveway. The suspects fled in a white Acura after failing to gain entry. About 30 minutes later, the same suspects broke into a Boathouse Road home and demanded keys to a Mercedes-Benz. Though the victims complied, three were stabbed – one critically, with a wound narrowly missing his heart. The suspects fled in the white Acura. Two were arrested after surveillance, and a third was later arrested with stolen property recovered following a search warrant. 

* On Sept. 10, the driver of a Lamborghini was shot and seriously injured in a targeted attack in Mississauga. Two suspects were arrested and charged with attempted murder. The project was able to link the shooting and home invasions to the same criminal group, along with other home invasions and luxury vehicle and jewelry thefts across Peel and Halton. 

Evidence from seized phones and an accused’s statement connected the network to 13 additional incidents and identified the culprits involved. As a result, the following men and youth have been arrested and charged with a total of 197 criminal charges related to organized crime, robbery, attempted murder, firearms and more. Here's the list of the accused, who of course are presumed innocent.

From Mississauga: Muhammad Munzir Sultan (21) Ounali Hussain (25) Muhammad Raed Abbasi (20) Mirza Arfeen Baig (22) Melad Barghouthi (24) Mustafa Alabd (20) Young Person (16) 

From Toronto: Arbaaz Amir (22) Ngor Neli Deng Akuk Ngor (20) Young Person (17) 

From Brampton:  Young Person (15) Young Person (16) Young Person (16) 

The accused were held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton, at which five of them walked back out through the revolving door. So don't leave your fancy cars out on the driveway, or leave your doors unlocked, just yet. We post this story as a public service. You're welcome!
