On September 12th, 2019 the Ottawa Police Service Organized Fraud Unit arrested and charged a tow truck owner/operator following a complaint of fraud allegations.
Ibrahim MASRI, 33 years old, of Ottawa was charged with:
- False Pretence Over $5000 (2 counts)
- Theft of a motor vehicle
- Mischief Over $5000
A police investigation was commenced by the Ottawa Police Organized Fraud Unit in August 2019 in response to two separate complaints that an Ottawa based tow truck company had conducted business under the false pretence that they were CAA.
Allegations: In both cases, the complainants later found out that CAA had no records of these calls and that they had likely been in touch with a different towing company. In one case, the investigation revealed that the caller’s vehicle was taken without their consent and brought to an unknown location where impound fees eventually exceeded $5 000.
On September 17th, 2019 the Ottawa Police Service Fraud Unit executed a search warrant at the tow truck compound in the Leitrim/Albion Roads area.
CAA was cooperative and assisted the police investigation. CAA had no involvement with this current fraud.
The Ottawa Police Service asks anyone having experienced a similar incident to report it to the Ottawa Police at 613-236-1222, ext. 7300.
MASRI is scheduled to appear in court on October 9, 2019.
This investigation is ongoing.
