The Toronto Police have arrested three individuals following a large-scale fraud investigation that allegedly involved organized criminal activity across Canada.
Police say the Financial Crimes Unit launched the investigation, known as “Project Carbon Copy”, in February 2025. Investigators allege the group carried out coordinated fraud-related offences nationwide, travelling across the country to deposit fraudulent cheques into accounts at various financial institutions.
According to police, once the cheques were deposited, other members of the group quickly accessed the funds through ATM withdrawals and point-of-sale purchases. Investigators further allege that a portion of the proceeds was obtained at multiple locations, including casinos. The estimated total financial loss is approximately $500,000.
On Monday, December 16, 2025, officers executed Criminal Code search warrants at a residence in Brampton and on two vehicles. During the searches, police seized approximately $70,000 in cash, precious metals including gold, cheques, banking documents, high-end clothing, cell phones, and two vehicles. Toronto police have released an image of the seized cash.
Jashanbir Jabbal, 23, of Brampton, Gurbir Jabbal, 25, of Brampton, and Aryan Gupta, 23, of Brampton, were each arrested and charged with two counts of Fraud Over $5,000.
All three are scheduled to appear in court at the Ontario Court of Justice on January 28, 2026.
Police say the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Toronto police at 416-808-7300, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.222tips.com.
