BRAMPTON: Peel Police have busted an Indo-Canadian criminal gang involved in theft of tractors, cargo trailers and load cargoes in GTA and throughout southern Ontario.
Dharwant Gill, 39, Ravneet Brar, 25, and Devesh Pal, 23, have been arrested and many stolen properties recovered from them.
According to police, the suspects would steal tractors and empty cargo trailers and then go to various places – logistic companies, freight forwarders and commercial properties. The stolen vehicles were used to remove loaded cargo trailers at these places.
