There have been dozens of arsons, shootings and at least four murders connected to the tow truck industry in the Toronto area. W5 investigates the underbelly of the industry and shares the story of a lawyer who took it on.

TORONTO -- Lisa Carr never thought her work would lead to armed threats, a firebombing, a shooting and a conspiracy to kill her.

Over the last number of years, criminal elements have been battling for lucrative control of the major highways around the Toronto area. It has resulted in more than 50 arsons, multiple shootings and at least four murders. The insurance industry estimates that fake repair bills tally up to $2 billion a year in Canada. And that’s why Carr was in the crosshairs. She was hired by an insurance company to challenge bogus claims.

While the violence surrounding the tow truck industry has made headlines in the Greater Toronto Area, the story that has never been told is that York Regional Police uncovered a plot to kill Carr.

Tow truck drivers are scum every single one of the defund two truck drivers .slash their tires cut brake lines

Cokeheads and scumbags. There, I just summed up that industry for you

Toronto's tow truck industry reminds me of the Trudeau administration. It illustrates how easily regular folks can flip from everyday citizens to acting like the Mafia.

What the heck is all the politicians doing? This should be made viral and Did police find people responsible for this? If there is multiple incidents at least there should be a few people who are already in Jail, right?

That's scary. GoodLuck IAmSorryThisHappenedToYou

Sick should take they tow trucks away

First CTV article worth reading in a while

This is horrible. Something must be done to control this industry.

Trump probably is behind this 🤦‍♂️ Trump2020

JHB18 Whose side is Justin Trudeau and Bill Blair on?

Typical coward's reactions. Not smart enough to run a business properly so they resort to violence

We have laws. They only apply to people who aren't big corps that are too big to fail😂

I just can’t imaging how organized crime groups can be successful without “bought” law enforcement officers as auxiliary. Unless the “bad officers” were eradicated, mobs will stay.

Organized crime runs the tow truck industry, very corrupt business!

Now watch as CTV runs a defund the Police article too.

The ones that are left, are the ones doing it.

Its not the tow truck industry..its the mob that runs it.

Yep...those tow truck drivers are ruthless

Disgusting. This is why we should be legally allowed to defend ourselves. The State cannot defend you and has no obligation to do so.

BRILLIANT story. Well done Avery and team!

So get the judges the change the laws regarding insurance claims on cars, or change the laws for tow truck drivers to not bring cars to those auto shops. Would be easy to identify the bad shops just ask the insurance companies. But they’re crooks too....

The cops can’t protect her? WTF. Charge those bastards one by one.
