Can Britain survive its petty-crime wave?

Can Britain survive its petty-crime wave?

This month marks a grim anniversary: 15 years since the London riots of 2011. Beginning with protests over the police shooting of Mark Duggan in Tottenham, the unrest spiraled into five days of carnage and looting in the capital and across the country. England’s urban centers, it turned out, were more of a tinderbox than most had realized. Once order had broken down, chaos metastasized at an incredible rate.

The RCMP Said ‘No Appetite’ in 2019. Now Ontario Police Describe Cartel Brokers Inside Canada’s Trucking Industry — at the Center of a $139 Million Bust

TORONTO — In the first days of June, Ontario’s highest court quietly affirmed the release of Deepak Paradkar, a Toronto-area criminal lawyer accused by United States prosecutors of serving as a senior operative inside Ryan Wedding’s billion-dollar drug organization — the man who, the indictment alleges, introduced the former Canadian Olympian to the “trusted couriers” who carried cartel cocaine and methamphetamine into Canada through the arteries of the commercial trucking industry.

The math of Canada’s immigration enforcement no longer works—and organized crime knows it

The math of Canada’s immigration enforcement no longer works—and organized crime knows it

When U.S. prosecutors unsealed indictments against 37 people tied to India-based crime syndicates earlier this month, they exposed a distinctly Canadian vulnerability: nearly every accused Bishnoi gang foot soldier arrested here entered from Punjab on a study or temporary work permit—many, the indictments allege, obtained with fraudulent information. As Hub senior correspondent Graeme Gordon reported, the years-long Operation Hard Ball investigation traces how Canada’s immigration system became a recruitment pipeline for transnational organized crime—one running through what criminologist Kelly Sundberg calls “a broken, and in places effectively non-existent, security screening process.”

HUNTER: Cross-border dope smuggling bust ignores elephant in room

HUNTER: Cross-border dope smuggling bust ignores elephant in room

No one was talking about the elephant parked in the corner of the room. If they were, it was in the most hushed of tones.

A murmur could get one cancelled, so better to keep quiet, even when cops should be taking a bow for shattering a cross-border dope smuggling ring and seizing an eye-popping $139 million in drugs.

But then, there is that elephant.
