Investigators from the Fraud Bureau have arrested a Brampton man in connection with a fraud scheme targeting members of the South Asian community, particularly individuals with temporary immigration status.
The investigation, which began in the summer of 2025, alleges that the accused recruited people with temporary immigration status to commit fraud against financial institutions and automotive dealerships in the Region of Peel.
Authorities say the scheme involved obtaining credit products, including high-value auto loans, with no intention of repayment. The vehicles and funds were allegedly intended for unauthorized use, resale, or export.
On March 9, 2026, 21-year-old Udayveer Dhillon was arrested and charged with Attempt to Commit a Criminal Offence.
As March is Fraud Prevention Month, Peel Regional Police urged the public to remain vigilant: trust your instincts, avoid suspicious offers, and report any fraudulent activity to local police or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre to help protect yourself and your community.
