Masked Gangs Strike Homes, Steal Millions

Peel police announced the arrest of 13 alleged members of a violent criminal network involved in numerous home invasions and car thefts. The investigation, named Project Ghost, has led to 197 charges laid against the suspects. During these incidents, which occurred in the early morning hours, victims were violently assaulted, with some being stabbed and one critically injured.

This network targeted residences and luxury vehicles, stealing approximately $1.8 million worth of property, with police recovering about one-third of it. Evidence including seized phones and statements connected the group to 13 additional crimes, uncovering their roles in researching targets and selling stolen goods. The organization also recruited youth to carry out robberies, a tactic police are working to combat.
