Peel Regional Police are investigating after approximately 15 tow trucks were set on fire in what police describe as a suspected arson at a Brampton, Ontario yard, with 4 to 5 suspects fleeing the scene, according to CBC News. A follow-up arson at a nearby location was reported in April, and police are investigating a possible connection; the incidents come amid an ongoing Toronto-area tow truck turf war that accounted for 13 percent of all shootings in the city in 2024.
Operator takeaway
Fifteen trucks in one night. If you operate in a competitive metro market, review your yard security and confirm your property insurance covers arson. The Toronto turf war is an extreme case, but lot fires happen everywhere and the insurance claim starts with your camera footage.
