朋友們伸出援手：「Project Wrangler」成功瓦解犯罪集團
A joint-forces operation involving police services in Ontario and Quebec put an end to a series of violent incidents and resulted in 13 arrests
Following a series of violent incidents across southern and eastern Ontario and in Quebec between April 15, 2024 and March 20, 2025, a joint-forces operation dubbed Project Wrangler resulted in the arrest of 13 individuals and the dismantling of a violent criminal group.
此次行動由約克地區警察局、皮爾地區警察局、多倫多警察局、倫敦警察局、安大略省警察局以及魁北克省警察局共同合作執行。
Investigators identified suspects believed to have been operating a criminal organization, determining the suspects were responsible for a number of incidents including a murder, attempted murders, an attempted kidnapping, armed carjackings, armed robberies, armed home invasions and more.
As a result of the investigation, six search warrants were executed at five locations from between April and December 2025.
警方逮捕了13人，並提出超過150項指控。此外，還查獲了四把槍枝。
In total, four youths were charged in connection with Project Wrangler. The other individuals arrested were adults.
“We were focused on adults who were utilizing youths to conduct this violent crime,” Detective Constable Matthew MacDonald of the Hold Up Unit said.
Detective Constable MacDonald said the collaboration between police services was “100 per cent necessary” to achieve a positive outcome in Project Wrangler, as the criminals “had no problem crossing jurisdictional lines” and crossing provincial borders.
He said having access to other police service’s databases, and working closely with several agencies, including the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency, was essential in the success of Project Wrangler.
At a press conference in November 2025, Chief Jim MacSween said he was “proud of the teamwork, professionalism and tireless efforts of all involved in Project Wrangler.”
“The success of this joint-forces operation is a testament to the strength of the partnerships we share, not only locally, but across the province and the country,” Chief MacSween said.
