Peel Regional Police have arrested a 24-year-old Brampton man, identified as Tarman Toor, in connection with an investigation into alleged illegal street racing and dangerous driving incidents in Mississauga and Toronto.
Investigators allege that the accused repeatedly participated in illegal street races while driving a red BMW M3 without licence plates and wearing a ski mask to conceal his identity. The vehicle was later observed in the area of Clayson Road and Bartor Road in Toronto, where it was allegedly involved in another street-racing incident. The accused was arrested during the operation.
Police said officers first observed the vehicle participating in a street race on August 30 at 1.06am in the area of Explorer Drive and Satellite Drive in Mississauga. On September 26, officers reportedly spotted the same vehicle racing on two separate occasions. One incident occurred near Meadowpine Boulevard and Danbro Crescent, where the vehicle allegedly proceeded through a red traffic light at Winston Churchill Boulevard and Highway 401. On October 28, police executed a search warrant under the Criminal Code at a residence in Brampton.
The investigation was conducted by the Safer Roads Team (SRT) over approximately three months, according to Peel Regional Police. Police said the investigation involved efforts to identify the driver and establish his alleged involvement in multiple incidents of illegal street racing.
Following an extensive investigation, officers identified the driver as Tarman Toor, 24, of Brampton.
