TowNews Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 York police believe the tow truck fire in Whitchurch-Stouffville was intentionally set Police in York Region are investigating what officers have described as a suspicious tow truck fire, apparently the latest strike in the GTA’s ongoing towing turf war. Emergency crews were called Monday night to a home in Whitchurch-Stoufville — on Hwy. 48, near Bethesda Side Rd. — where they encountered a Freightliner flatbed tow truck engulfed in flames. Police alleged that the fire, which caused an estimated $150,000 worth of damage, was set intentionally. Detectives urge anyone with information to call 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7541, or Crime Stoppers. Torched trucks are a hallmark of the years-long war between rival outlaw towing companies in southern Ontario, and come just weeks after a truck was set ablaze at a home in Ajax earlier this month.
