(CALEDON, ON) – Members from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges against two individuals following an investigation into a carjacking.
On September 18, 2025, at approximately 10:00 p.m., officers from the Caledon OPP received a report of a carjacking in the area of Old School Road and Mississauga Road, in the Town of Caledon. The complainant alleged that their vehicle was involved in a collision and was then approached by two suspects, one of which was armed with a handgun. The suspects were then said to have stolen the vehicle and fled the area.
Detectives from the Caledon Major Crime Unit (MCU) assisted with the investigation which ultimately revealed the complainant fabricated the report of the carjacking in a complex fraud scheme.
As a result of the investigation, Raji SHARMA, 38, of Brampton, and Meeraj TANDON, 40, of Brampton, were charged with:
- Public Mischief
- Fraud over $5000
The accused parties are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date to answer to their charges.
