Milton Man Among Four Charged in Vehicle-Registration Fraud Investigation

A Milton resident is among four people charged in what police describe as a vehicle-registration fraud scheme. Peel Regional Police allege the group used forged documents to register vehicles under fictitious companies. None of the charges have been tested in court.

What Happened

Investigators with Peel Regional Police's Commercial Auto Crime Bureau allege the group used fraudulent paperwork at ServiceOntario locations to register vehicles to fake companies, allowing users to run up tolls and parking fees while avoiding accountability. Police say more than $100,000 in unpaid Highway 407 tolls was linked to the scheme, and that officers recovered 10 stolen vehicles valued at roughly $750,000.

Police say a 53-year-old Milton man, Tariq Hameed, is charged with one count of using a forged document. Three others, from Caledon, Brampton and Toronto, also face charges including fraud and forged-document offences.
