Overview
- Edmonton police arrested 22‑year‑old Safaldeep Singh, announced Thursday, and after local charges he was transferred to Ontario to face Canada‑wide warrants for conspiracy to commit murder and extortion.
- A May 4 traffic stop in Edmonton of a Dodge Charger led officers to seize controlled substances and a loaded firearm and to arrest Singh and two other men on drug and weapons offences.
- Search warrants at Singh’s Edmonton residence on May 28 and June 23 recovered material described by police as consistent with vehicle re‑vinning operations used in extortion schemes.
- On June 23 Singh was charged in Edmonton with trafficking in property obtained by crime, possession of stolen property and unauthorized possession of a firearm before his transfer to Ontario.
- Police say the case is part of Project Insight, a multi‑agency effort with Peel Regional Police and the CBSA that follows recent Peel arrests tied to the For Brothers network and hundreds of CBSA immigration investigations and dozens of removals related to extortion activity.
