The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of an arrest in connection with a Canada Revenue Agency scam.

It is alleged that:

- a group made unsolicited phone calls to random people, purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency

- the recipients of the calls were told they were in arrears of their income tax, and were threatened with imprisonment if payment was not made immediately

- when the recipients agreed to pay, they were instructed to send money by way of a direct bank transfer

On Monday, January 25, 2016, police arrested Abhi Thakkar, 20, of no fixed address. He was charged with:

1) Fraud - Over ($5000)
2) three counts of Fraud - Under ($5000)
3) four counts of Possession of Property Obtained by Crime
4) Laundering Proceeds of Crime

He appeared in court at 1911 Eglinton Avenue East on Wednesday, January 27, 2016.

Police are aware of victims in Ontario and Alberta, and believe there may be other victims across Canada.

Anyone who has transferred money to Abhi Thakkar is asked to contact police at 43 Division at 416-808-4300.

The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of these types of unsolicited phone calls.

When presented with a call of this type, ask the caller to provide a call-back number. End the call and contact other trusted family, relatives, or friends to verify the information you are being told.

Be wary of any requests for secrecy. Requests for secrecy are often a red flag and are used by suspects to prevent victims discovering the ruse.

If in doubt, contact your local police service or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Never send money as a result of an unsolicited phone call without first independently verifying the legitimacy of the request.

On Wednesday, February 3, 2016, Toronto Police Service officers from the Employment Unit will be hosting a closing feast to wrap up a three-day employment workshop for Aboriginal youth.

Thanks to a partnership with Resume Target, a professional resume-writing service, Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training, ProAction Cops & Kids, and the Employment Unit of the Toronto Police Service, we were pleased to offer our knowledge and expertise to youth by providing access to career-related information, premium resume templates youth can customize, employment resources, and interview-preparation courses in an effort to help young people obtain a job that matches their interests and skills. The youth will also be attending a "Dress to Impress" workshop by Image North Consulting. All youth will receive a new professional outfit and makeover on the day of the feast.

Of the eleven youth who attended the workshop, nine applied to the Toronto Police Service Youth In Policing Initiative program.

ProAction Cops & Kids is a charity that supports programs, developed and delivered by police officers,to engage at-risk youth in our communities. ProAction believes that bringing cops and kids together in healthy, fun, skill-building activities creates mutual understanding and respect and establishes positive relationships that strengthen our community today and for the future.

Since inception, ProAction has reached close to 390,000 young people and supported over 15,000 police-initiated programs delivered throughout Toronto, Durham Region, Hamilton, and Niagara. Programs include a wide range of activities such as sports, camping, music, construction, cooking, leadership and cultural programs that allow young people with varied interests and skills to participate and benefit.

Through ProAction programs, police partners become mentors to participating youth and help guide them towards better life choices. ProAction programs allow officers to gain valuable insight on the daily issues youth face and enables them to intervene before youth become criminally involved. All ProAction programs are free of charge and focus on high priority neighbourhoods to ensure that those most in need have access to these programs.

A special thanks to TD Canada Trust who provided the funding to ProAction Cops & Kids, making this event possible.

Anyone seeking further information on this event is asked to contact:
