(CALEDON, ON) - Members from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges against an individual following an investigation into a fraudulent collision report.
On January 21, 2026, officers from the Caledon OPP received a report of a fail to remain motor vehicle collision. The complainant alleged an unknown driver struck their vehicle and fled the scene without exchanging insurance information.
Officers entered into an investigation which suggested a fail to remain collision did not occur, but rather the complainant had previously been involved in a collision approximately a month prior, which resulted in significant damages to their vehicle. At the time of the collision, the vehicle was uninsured and as a result, the complainant fabricated a new collision report in an attempt to obtain reimbursement for the damages illegitimately.
As a result of the investigation, a 23-year-old from Caledon was charged with:
- Public mischief
- Fraud over $5000
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to the charges.
