Calgary Extortion Crackdown

Calgary police are making strides against extortion targeting the South Asian community, charging 16 suspects with 56 combined charges — but only one remains jailed, sparking concern as most are out on bail. Mugshots of 15 suspects have been released to help identify them, a move welcomed by community leaders for boosting safety and trust. With many accused on student or work visas, immigration authorities are already investigating deportations, issuing removal orders and sending some back. Despite bail concerns and fears of suspects fleeing, police report a sharp drop in extortion-related shootings — signaling progress in both enforcement and community engagement.
