Our Legacy, Impact & Approach:
BGC Peel has been changing the lives of children, youth, & families across Mississauga, Brampton & Caledon for 41 years, since 1983.
On July 23rd, 2024, Peel Regional Police (PRP) announced Project Warlock, a six-month investigation focused on an identified organized criminal network based in Brampton and Mississauga. This network was responsible for multiple home invasion-style robberies, armed robberies, and carjacking’s occurring within Peel Region and throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Investigators linked multiple incidents together, including eight robberies in Brampton (three of which were home invasions with two involving firearms), two robberies involving firearms, three knife-point robberies, and a series of carjackings, through extensive video canvasses, physical evidence, and forensics.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of investigators’ from PRP’s Central Robbery Bureau, numerous arrests have been made, multiple search warrants have been executed, and a significant number of charges have been laid, including:
- 18 individuals arrested, aged from 14-27 years old
- 150 Criminal Code Offence charges laid
- 17 violent home invasions, armed robberies and carjackings solved
- 12 stolen vehicles recovered, valued over $1,200,000
- Over $55,000 worth of stolen property recovered
- Over 60 search warrants executed
- Seizure of 4 prohibited firearms, one with obliterated serial number
- Seizure of 2 imitation firearms
Over the years, Peel Region has witnessed the violent and tragic, yet preventable, outcomes of criminal acts committed by high-risk repeat offenders ignoring conditions of their release. The arrests of individuals during Project Warlock, with some already on release orders for prior charges, underscores the urgent need for bail reform. Everyone deserves to be safe in their homes, cars and at work. Repeat violent offenders pose a significant threat to public safety, and we encourage greater attention to bail reform to prevent further victimization of our community members.
Peel Regional Police remains committed to seizing every illegal firearm in our community and arresting those responsible for terrorizing residents. The successful completion of this investigation was made possible through funding provided by the Ontario Government, Ministry of the Solicitor General in which the Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario (CISO) supported this investigation. We would also like recognize the invaluable contributions and collaboration of our enforcement partners including Ontario Provincial Police, the Provincial Carjacking Joint Task Force (PCJTF), York Regional Police, Waterloo Regional Police, Barrie Police, and ServiceOntario.

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Friday, July 26th, 2:00am to 7:00am. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
- Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
- Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.
After the water interruption
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note
After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)
