Seniors Month - Weekly Safety Tip #1

Are you having difficulty managing your banking independently? If you need assistance, avoid sharing your banking information or providing your bank card to anyone to act on your behalf. Instead, contact your financial institution to discuss any challenges you may be facing. Banks are equipped to support you and are committed to protecting your financial security—even when assistance is being offered by someone you know. 💳

Today, Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) announced the results of Project Jetsetter – a coordinated enforcement and investigative response focused on criminal tourism.

Project Jetsetter is the culmination of multiple major investigations into organized criminal activity in Durham Region and across the Greater Toronto Area. This initiative targeted organized groups travelling to Canada for the purpose of executing high-profit crimes, often connected to international criminal networks. These activities are deliberate, coordinated, and profit-driven; not random or opportunistic.

Through more than nine separate investigations and over 5,000 investigative hours, the DRPS Financial Crimes Unit has tracked more than 200 incidents tied to criminal tourism, resulting in over $2.61 million in confirmed financial losses in Durham Region alone.
