Extortionists Target South-Asians

Since December 2023, the OPP has identified more than 45 cases that appear to follow a pattern of extortion. These extortion attempts have targeted victims in the Caledon and Dufferin County areas and involve phone calls or text messages threatening violence unless a large sum of money is paid.

Throughout 2024 and 2025, the OPP has investigated numerous weapons incidents where properties in the Caledon and Dufferin County areas have sustained property damage due to gunfire. Police believe these shootings are linked to threatening communications and extortion attempts.

Investigators would like to remind individuals and business owners:

• Extortion is defined as, “unlawfully obtaining money, property or services from a person, entity or institution through coercion,” according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

• If you receive a threatening call or message, report it to police immediately.

• Callers will use high-pressure intimidation tactics to solicit money from you. Do not reply to threatening messages or calls and block the originating number.

OPP Central Region continues to investigate, under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch. 

Anyone who has received threats of extortion, or has information regarding these incidents, is asked to contact Caledon OPP at 1-888-310-1122. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or ontariocrimestoppers.ca
