Presser from York Regional Police at 10am eastern today, we should get more detail then. TorStar is reporting this morning that the ‘more than 30 arrested’ is total arrests, not specifically police, which makes sense. Different outlets are reporting 7 versus 9 officers charged, maybe it’s 7 TPS and two others or something. I’m super interested to learn more about this investigation. This kind of complex anti corruption investigation and prosecution had to have been super resource intensive while also needing to be highly covert.
Hopefully it was simply time to wrap up and make arrests, and the takedown day wasn’t hurried due to some imminent safety threat.
