The Gun and Gang Task Force and Centralized Shooting Response Teams have been investigating shooting incidents in the
Thorncliffe Park area from late 2019 through 2020. This investigation was a direct response to an increase in firearm related violence affecting that particular community and elsewhere within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Working with internal and external partners as well with members of the community, the Toronto Police Service investigation focused on the criminal activities of Salman Jogiyat and his associates.
It is alleged that this group purposefully set out to commit violent acts against targeted individuals for the sole purpose of monetary gain and retribution.
“The arrests today significantly disrupt gun and gang activity that has been jeopardizing community safety in that area and in other areas of the city,” said Superintendent Steve Watts, Organized Crime Enforcement.
Last Thursday, September 3, 2020, a series of Criminal Code and Controlled substance Act Search warrants were executed in Toronto and Cambridge, Ontario.
