Calgary Police Target Extortion Ring | Calgary News

Calgary police are cracking down hard on extortion targeting the South Asian community, with new charges filed in a chilling March 25th case where threats of violence led to a gun fired at a victim’s home — and a stolen car getaway. A 21-year-old suspect, Tanveer Singh, is now wanted for possession of stolen property, while a 17-year-old was charged for helping orchestrate the threats via WhatsApp. Since last April, Calgary has seen 51 such attacks — 19 people have been charged across 59 offenses — but investigators say the March case is still very much active. Authorities are urgently asking the public to come forward with any info to ensure justice and end the fear these crimes have caused.
