https://www.cp24.com/news/man-charged-in-connection-with-alleged-corruption-in-tow-truck-industry-appeared-on-popular-tv-show-1.5270560 One of the men charged in connection with allegations of corruption related to Ontario's tow truck industry has appeared on a popular television show. On Saturday, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) announced they charged three of their own veteran officers and suspended four others over allegations of corruption related to the province's tow truck industry. The force alleges the accused officers provided preferential treatment to towing companies within the Greater Toronto Area. They also announced they charged another man, 52-year-old Sutheshkumar Sithambarpillay, with aiding and abetting breach of trust and secret commissions contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. Sithambarpillay, who goes by the name Steve Pillai, is the owner of Steve's Towing, which is located near Highway 400 north of Sheppard Avenue in North York. The OPP confirmed he is the same man who has appeared several times on the television show "Heavy Rescue 401," which airs on Discovery Canada. In the reality show, television crews follow around multiple tow truck operators and rescue teams as they work to clear collisions on Highway 401. CTV News Toronto, Discovery Canada and CP24 are divisions of Bell Media. The charges and suspensions stemmed from an investigation first launched in October 2019. The officers facing charges all have at least 20 years of service with the OPP and served with either its Highway Safety Division or the Toronto detachment. Const. Simon Bridle and Const. Mohammed Ali Hussain were both arrested this past week, while a warrant is out for the arrest of Const. Bindo Showan who is believed to be out of the province. All three are charged with secret commissions and breach of trust, while Bridle faces an additional charge of obtaining sexual services for consideration. OPP says the four other officers remain under investigation, but are not currently facing any criminal charges. CTV News Toronto contacted Steve's Towing for comment but the owner said he was not available for an interview. Sithambarpillay is expected to appear in court on April 16. None of the allegations has been tested in court.

Three veteran Ontario Provincial Police officers are facing charges for giving preferential treatment to certain tow truck operators, in the latest corruption probe to target an industry long plagued with violence. In an interview Saturday, OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique said he received an internal complaint back in early 2019 about the relationship between some of his officers and towing operators. “Preference was given to a particular tow company in exchange for benefit to the officers,” he said, declining to get into the specifics of what that benefit was. “It’s fairly complex. It’s not a traditional [arrangement where] there’s an exchange of cash, it’s not necessarily that straightforward. It’s a very complex investigation.” The OPP investigation is the latest criminal probe to target Ontario’s troubled tow truck industry. As The Globe and Mail revealed in an investigation into the tow-truck “turf wars” last February, more than 50 tow trucks have been set on fire, and at least four men connected to tow truck companies have been killed, as operators compete for bigger slices of a lucrative segment of the industry known as collision towing or “accident chasing.” On Wednesday, OPP Provincial Constable Mohammed (Ali) Hussain, 52, with the OPP’s Toronto detachment, was arrested and charged with secret commissions and breach of trust. His colleague Provincial Constable Simon Bridle, 53, with the Highway 407 detachment, was arrested Thursday. He faces the same charges, as well as an additional charge for obtaining sexual services for consideration. An endorsement warrant has been issued for a third officer, Provincial Constable Bindo Showan, 57, also with the 407 detachment, who is currently out of the province. All three have been suspended with pay.

I don't know how they intend to fix this without first fixing all of the cops on the take?

Never mind government intervention in this, what happened to consumer choice in who touches my personal property? That's been gone for so long. If the news only knew everything and was to report on it, people would be pissed.

Really good product just really bad customer service.

That's a lot of money for a 12 yr old truck.

Thoughts and prayers to family and friends.
