Calgary police have laid charges against five men related to an ongoing investigation of violent extortions targeting the South Asian community.
The charges involve an “elaborate” extortion scheme involving residents of both Edmonton and Calgary, CPS police Supt. Jeff Ball said at a press conference Friday morning.
“They all have some form of mixed status within Canada — everything from expired work visas through to refugee claim status,” Ball added.
Police are also investigating whether the suspects have connections to organized crime. Isabella Finn reports.
