INVESTIGATORS with the York Regional Police Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Peel Regional Police, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, dismantled a large-scale international drug trafficking network that extended to Western Canada, the United States and India.

In May 2020, officers began an investigation, dubbed Project Cheetah, into a robust network involved in importing large quantities of cocaine, ketamine, heroin and opium into Canada. The drugs were then distributed across the country through a sophisticated system run by the traffickers.

On Thursday April 8, 2021, police in Ontario, British Columbia and California executed more than 50 search warrants, resulting in 33 people charged with more than 130 criminal offences.

Officers seized approximately $2.3 million worth of drugs including: Ten kilograms of cocaine, eight kilograms of ketamine, three kilograms of heroin and 2.5 kilograms of opium. Investigators also seized 48 firearms and $730,000 in Canadian currency.

Over 90% of these names are Indian, mostly Indian punjabi so "south asians" is kind of misleading. When the mainstream media reports on grooming gangs in the North of England they call them "Pakistani grooming gangs" even if there is the odd Bangladeshi and Indian yet when it's mostly indians involved in a crime the mainstream media conveniently blames it on all south asians

That's incorrect, in North America but especially Canada it's Indians who are involved in organized crime - the Punjabi Sikh and Tamil communities in particular, I don't if you live in the UK but the Pakistani community in North America is rarely involved in these kinds of stuff

No ones blaming any religion, I've never met a muslim that's tried to tear apart another scripture and theorize that all the hate comes from that source. All we're saying is that >95% of these culprits are Indian and not Pakistani so labelling them as south asians is misleading

how's that misleading?

south Asian is a bigger set under which, the smaller sets are Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other communities.

preferring by the bigger set doesn't make it any invalidate.

Except for this Itachi I am not seeing anyone mentioning the religion

Ethnicity/country but not religion with Islam people attack the belief system, a way of life
 
Given Canadian Sikhs are the staunchest supporters of the Khalistani cause, do we even know these guys identify as Indian?

It's a bit like saying that the Tamils involved in crime in Canada are Sri Lankan but I'm pretty sure those Tamils would be the last to identify as Sri Lankan..
 
Yeah I know this comes across as xenophobic

But it's a Punjab problem too
In UK crimes most of the time Pak punjabis and Pak kashmiri (who are basically a subgroup of punjabis let's be honest) represent most of rough crowd

Same in Canada but with indian punjabis

Even here in US the working class people are mostly from Punjab side and the money making/corporate class are from Karachi (basically muslim indians or hindi/urdu speaking group)

This is something that I have noticed over several years too

It's not a Punjab thing, first of all most Pakistanis in the UK are from the Potohar and AJK region and don't exactly identify as Punjabi - for example Bhangra is not part of the culture in those areas. Secondly, it's not a "Pak kashmiri" thing either, people frm AJK aren't ethnically Kashmiri. I know actual Pak Kashmiris and they aren't involved in this kind of stuff.
 
Also there are plenty of white collar college educated Pakistani Punjabis in the US so lets not generalize

Before people start labeling me as a guy who is out to get his biases

I am from Lahore and even though ethnically indian but certainly identify with (hell I grew up in working class neighborhood so the stereotype also apply's to me in some ways- people with culture of Punajb living in working class neighborhoods involved with rough crowds) and have deep respect for culture of punjab

So I have no bone to pick just something of a weird phenomenon I noticed

I know Ajk aren't ethnically Kashmiri they're a punjabi subgroup just like Potohoris they're a subgroup of Punjab

They have been treated as part of Punajab for centries if they stopped identifying themselves as punjabis all of a sudden than I am short for words...

But by and large there's a divide

Urdu speaking people making money and high on corporate chain

Punjabis in the working class sections of society

Does it mean there are exception to the rule
Yeah ofcourse but if you analyze the cammunity people will see that devide...

And I am not chest thumping here cause third, fourth generation in Punjab we are basically punajbis and whatever "shade" I am throwing also equally apply's to me

I come from both backgrounds so I'm unbiased lol but you're overly generalizing also "working class" isn't accurate, a lot of Pakistanis OWN gas stations, restaurants, various other businesses - just cause they provide a service doesn't mean they're "working class" a lot of these Pakistani businessmen in New York, Chicago, Texas and Cali are making several hundreds of thousands of dollars some are even millionaires, one my uncles (dad's cousin) bought a whole strip mall after his restaurant took off, there are also many Pakistanis real estate, you're equating small business ownership with being working class.

UP is how it is due to the direct effects of colonisation. I know all of the subcontinent was colonised but the way Madras or Bombay were colonised was different to how UP was exploited. UP and the adjoining regions were home to the most fertile plains in the subcontinent, which the British exploited for their opium trade in China and far east. Cash crops were made to be grown by the labourers instead of food crops and they were paid measly amounts for that which ended up impoverishing them and you still see the after effects of it in UP and Bihar.

I'll concede that the urdu side of my family is more educated - more doctors, engineers and bankers but the Punjabi side also has it's fair share of educated people but maybe a slight majority in business.

Also Karachiwalas aren't just the white collar urdu speakers, you're forgetting the Memon and Aga Khani who make up a HUGE percent of the population here at least where I live and from my experience they own most of the gas stations, desi grocery stores, real estate agencies etc Heck there are even more Bengalis in these fields than Pakistani, like over 90% of Bangladeshis I've met only work in small businesses although the younger generation of all these ethnic groups are college educated, like I know many people who were prehealth majors while their parents owned a small business.

Well the answer is yes. Absurd. The word terrorist has become synonymous with Muslims. Likewise when UK drugs gangs are Pakistani, they've moved away from being described as 'asian' as groups like Indians found it implicated them unfairly.

I suppose when saints sin it stings

That would make more sense if you had objected to Muslims being stereotyped as terrorists, but I don't recall you ever doing so. Obviously now the pattern has been established, Muslims will also now notice the religion of perpetrators who aren't Muslims.

As it is, I feel that the OP should have been titled Indian descent, as that is where they clearly hail from. Mentioning the religion is not necessary, although it is can hardly be objected since the precedent has been set.

So in which neighborhoods you think a less educated man would live compared to his more educated counterparts?

Or you think there is no correlation between the two
 
Punjabi Truck drivers and Drug Smuggling
Why am I not surprised. Brampton and Punjabis are giving bad name to rest of the south Asian population in Canada.

I went to a big Honda dealer in Brampton and was looking for a used car. The sales guy (who I got reference from someone) advised me do not buy used car from Brampton, he said dishonesty is rampant, people rollback their car meters, Honda guys sometimes find out but cannot do anything
 
Glad our Indian brothers are trying to compete with us. Let it be known that we Pakistanis are the undisputed champions of criminality (of South Asian descent, that is).

Yea you got good advised from sales guy. I once went to Brampton to check out an pre-owned car. It was 2007 Honda Accord which was pretty worn out but odometer was showing 53K kms only. Upon more questions on why so low KM, owner said it’s a new motor, previous one was replaced(which he didn’t even mentioned on ad). Brampton is town filled with crooks.

I refused to buy the car and also asked why was the need to tamper with Odometer(which is illegal) but then guy had no answers. Too many red flags for a pre owned car. Brampton will forever be a GHETTO TOWN

Let's just put it that way, but the gang banging is no more
 
Indo-American youth in gangs defy stereotype

In family photos, the young men pose politely in turbans and ties. But in secret snapshots confiscated by police, some of the men reveal a darker side: They stuff assault rifles down their pants, flex their tattooed muscles and flaunt their bare chests. Others point 9mm pistols at each others’ temples and flash gang signs.

Police say these 20-somethings belong to three small Indo-American gangs in Alameda and Santa Clara counties: the Santa Clara Punjabi Boys, Aim to Kill and the All Indian Mob. Authorities describe their members — perhaps as many as 500 mostly Sikh men in Northern California — as some of the Bay Area’s most violent offenders.

“Their conflicts always result in a stabbing, shooting or beating,” said Dave Lanier, a Fremont police sergeant who also is the region’s foremost expert on Indo-American gangs.

Gujjus are mostly involved in money laundering or tax evasion. Thing about us Gujjus is that we always think about multiplying our money haha. Some take shortcuts and get caught. My former boss in Texas was caught too for tax evasion in his store. Lot of Gujju store owners will hide sales tax.

Surprised to see the majority of these people are Indians. Usually its the Pakistanis who are more into these things in the west.

Maybe Hollywood can make a future movie, Gangs of Brampton.

That's only in UK. Are you surpised they are mostly Punjabis ? Brampton has a huge Punjabi population. Also, in Brampton, driving expensive cars while broke, have become common, same with buying big houses that people can't afford and so on. The culture of flashy cars, houses and showing of simialr to American Hip Hop culture is definetly an influence.

I just explained to you. Punjabi Sikh culture is different from the Pakistani one. Isn't that obvious ? Big house, flashy life style, fake macho propaganda.
 
New Zealand recovers 3 tonnes of cocaine floating in the sea
Police say the drugs – enough to supply New Zealand for 30 years – were found in the Pacific and probably destined for Australia,

New Zealand authorities have recovered 3.2 tonnes of cocaine, worth more than $300 million, found floating in the Pacific Ocean and believed to be bound for Australia.

Police said the haul of 81 bales, which was drifting hundreds of kilometres northwest of New Zealand, was recovered in a joint operation with the New Zealand Customs Service and Defence Force acting on intelligence from the Five Eyes alliance, which also includes Australia, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

“This is the largest find of illicit drugs by New Zealand’s agencies by some margin,” said Commissioner of New Zealand Police Andrew Coster.

Officials believe the drugs were dropped at a “floating transit point” in the Pacific Ocean where they would have been picked up and taken to Australia.

“We believe it was destined for Australia, where it would have been enough to service the market for one year,” Coster said.

“It is more than New Zealand would use in 30 years.”

Coster described the bust as a “huge result” for police in both New Zealand and Australia.

“There is no doubt this discovery lands a major financial blow right from the South American producers through to the distributors of this product,” he added.

Officials said it was too early to say where the drugs came from.

Drug issue is becoming more and more severe.

I feel like punishments aren't harsh enough. Governments have to go after the drug criminals harder.
 
There's a strong suggestion in certain circles that Pakistanis are the fodder for more Wiley operators. The sikhs have hugely sophisticated laundering methods via genuine outlets and control most of the supply.

Couple years ago a major don got busted in Wolverhampton by his own runner.

Amsterdam bans cannabis in its red light district

It will soon be illegal to smoke cannabis on the street in Amsterdam's red light district under new regulations unveiled by the city.

The laws will come into effect from mid-May and aim to improve liveability for residents who have long complained of disruption caused by tourists.

Sex workers will also have to close their venues at 3am.

Local media reported that almost all councillors supported taking action to reduce nuisance to residents.

The city council also announced on Thursday that restaurants and bars would have to close by 2am on Fridays and Saturdays and no new visitors would be allowed into the old city district after 1am.

Currently, the sale of alcohol from shops, liquor stores and cafes in the red light district is illegal from Thursday to Sunday after 4pm. Now, the council will ask vendors to completely remove alcohol from their shopfronts during that time, or hide them from view.

It is illegal to consume alcohol in most public spaces in Amsterdam.

Singapore hangs man for trafficking 1kg of cannabis
Family of Tangaraju Suppiah had pleaded for clemency, saying he had not had adequate legal counsel or an interpreter.

Singapore has hanged 46-year-old Tangaraju Suppiah who was found guilty in 2018 of trafficking more than 1kg (2.2 pounds) of cannabis, despite last-minute appeals for clemency from his family and activists.

His family said they had been given Tangaraju’s death certificate, anti-death penalty campaigner Kirsten Han wrote on Twitter.

A spokesperson for the country’s prison service told the AFP news agency that the sentence had been carried out at Changi prison in the island’s east.

Tangaraju Suppiah was sentenced to death in 2018 for abetting the attempted trafficking of just more than 1kg of cannabis. A judge found he was using a phone number that was communicating with traffickers attempting to smuggle the drugs into Singapore.

Tangaraju’s family and activists had argued the 46-year-old was not provided with adequate legal counsel and that he was denied access to a Tamil interpreter while being questioned by the police.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) Deputy Asia Director Phil Robertson deplored the execution and said the evidence against Tangaraju was “far from clear cut – since he never actually touched the marijuana in question, was questioned by police without a lawyer, and denied access to a Tamil interpreter when he asked for one”.

Amnesty International described the execution as “unlawful” and said that proceedings “violated international law and standards”.

The execution was the first in Singapore in six months after it carried out 11 death sentences last year.

An increasing number of Singaporeans have expressed concern about the use of the mandatory death penalty in drug cases with last year’s hanging of Nagaenthran Dharmalingam prompting rare protests in the tightly-controlled city-state.
