10+ DIRTY CANADIAN Cops CAUGHT Red Handed In Multiple BRUTAL Cartel Shootings & Murder Plot

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]This news is both shocking and completely unacceptable.

[00:00:06]Corruption has no place in policing.

[00:00:09]It's never and will never be tolerated.

[00:00:12]But instead of stopping, the alleged thief drives right at the police officer.

[00:00:21]You know that guy just got hit.

[00:00:23]That was the horrific moment a notorious criminal ran over a Toronto cop trying to stop him. And as crazy as it sounds, [music] these criminals were actually getting their targets information from about 10 different Toronto cops who have now been caught red-handed by higher authorities. But that was after the gang's hit men had already used the information [music] to carry out about seven brutal shootings across the GTA. Take a look at some of the footage with armed men lighting up entire neighborhoods in the middle of the night. But the most shocking part of this case is a bizarre murder plot that feels just like something out of a crime thriller. It's so terrifying that you'd be left [music] questioning your own safety after we reveal the victim's identity. Why and [music] how the criminals actually tracked him down. So, let's get right into it.

[00:01:07]So, this investigation really started way back in June of 2025 when a senior prison official in Toronto caught something strange on his security camera. He saw three masked men creeping around his home in York region. You can see the blue sedan pulling up in front of the street and then a few seconds later this guy sneaks right past the front window. That was the first visit and over the next 36 hours investigators said those same masked men came back two more times and on the third visit they came armed with loaded handguns to finish the job. But by then, the police were already waiting in position. You can hear the air-to-ground radio chatter between the tactical flight officer on the helicopter circling above and the ground squad. I have two cars in front of them just wandering down the middle of the road.

[00:01:50]Cars coming up behind.

[00:01:54]Those are arguing close. Let's take him down right now. Contain.

[00:01:58]I have not seen anyone get out of the passenger side and haven't seen anyone run around the houses. I have containment in the back. Keep doing what you guys do. I'm walking over some trees.

[00:02:07]The hit men were cornered from all sides before they knew it. That was when they panicked and tried to flee. But you can see how they drove their vehicle straight into a police cruiser parked in the corrections officer's driveway and that was the end. What followed next was a criminal investigation to establish a motive for this crime >> [music] >> and to trace back how those men even knew where the officer lived in the first place. So, it turned out that it was actually someone working inside the Toronto police unit who had accessed the officer's information and sold it to the criminals. That someone was Constable Timothy Barnhart, a 56-year-old veteran who had been in the force for nearly 20 years. York Regional Police Deputy Chief Ryan Hogan literally called him the genesis of this investigation. You know why? Well, that's because all the criminal links they uncovered traced right back to him, which is why he's now facing a whopping 17 criminal charges.

[00:02:54]Barnhart used his access to the confidential police database to pull up private information about that senior corrections officer including his home address, which he then handed directly to a career criminal named Brian De Costa.

[00:03:07]We allege that Mr. De Costa is a key figure in the criminal network operating within the greater Toronto area with in fact significant international ties.

[00:03:16]De Costa was responsible for receiving the target's information from Barnhart and then releasing [music] it to his network of hit men. This was somebody in detentions who was refusing to participate in organized crime, was doing their job well. Police were very clear that this was a victim and was not participating in any of those crimes and they were targeted for that very reason. So, [music] even being a good officer puts your life at risk because of people like Barnhart and his crew.

[00:03:40]Alongside him, investigators arrested six other active duty cops [music] and one retired constable of the Toronto Police Force. His name is John Madeley Sr. And the interesting thing is, he was arrested alongside his son, John Madeley Jr. We have identified a number of serious criminal acts that have occurred following the release of confidential information almost in real time.

[00:04:03]This includes extortion, commercial robberies, and seven shootings right here in York region. Investigators linked seven shootings in York region directly to the information Barnhart leaked to De Costa and one gun recovered at one of those shootings was later tied to eight separate shootings across southern Ontario.

[00:04:22]We allege that those shootings were in part facilitated by the release of confidential information from Constable Barnhart to Mr. De Costa.

[00:04:31]During the press conference, police released surveillance footage from some of these shootings.

[00:04:48]These are neighborhoods where families with kids live and an innocent child could easily get killed all because some corrupt police officers decide to sell their conscience to the devil. And the shootings were only one part of it. The criminals were using the same information they were collecting from the police to rob businesses. One of the most shocking cases happened at a luxury car dealership in Oakville called Lockwood Leasing.

[00:05:10]It was around 3:30 that Sunday morning when eight suspects, all dressed in black, faces completely covered, smashed through the front glass door and rushed in one after the other. The way they moved inside just tells you these guys were working with solid intel because it was as if they knew the layout inside out. A Ferrari, um, basically at around 620,000.

[00:05:31]A Porsche GT3, um, another 911, two Mercedes S-Class S580s, [music] uh, and they, uh, two BMW M4s.

[00:05:43]Um, probably between 1.5 million to 2 million dollars in value. The break-in wasn't even discovered until 4 hours later because the dealership had no alarm to alert anyone. The manager described it as surreal. Over 40 years in the business and he had never experienced something like this. Police eventually recovered four of the eight cars in the Toronto area including the Ferrari. The guy who drove the Ferrari was also caught because it looked like he got injured during the heist and they found his blood at the scene. Meanwhile, the other four have not been confirmed recovered. So, that business is simply out that money and because the authorities who were supposed to be protecting them were selling out their information to criminals. But here's where it gets even uglier because when dirty cops leak information to criminals, the damage doesn't stop at stolen cars and shot up houses. It puts their own fellow officers directly in the line of fire and one of them almost got killed during a recent York Regional Police auto theft operation in the GTA.

[00:06:37]Detective Scott Creswell and his unit had been tracking this stolen Lexus for 10 days. This was what the police call a crime car which basically means a stolen vehicle used exclusively to go out and steal more vehicles. The crew behind it had been terrorizing multiple municipalities across the GTA. That was until Creswell and his men tracked them down to this retirement home in East Toronto where the suspects had been regularly parking the car between jobs.

[00:07:02]We hang back with Detective Creswell while other members of the team follow the Lexus. And listen to this. All parties are out. The team radios in that the suspected thieves are stealing another vehicle, a Toyota Tacoma. About 90 minutes later, both the Lexus and the Tacoma rolled back into the parking lot where the team was still waiting and that was when they moved in. He's out.

[00:07:24]He's out. He's away. He's away. Go. Go.

[00:07:26]Go.

[00:07:27]He's on the facade of the brown building number six. Two police K9 units supporting the team start the pursuit.

[00:07:34]One unit chased down the suspect on foot and ran him down immediately. The second officer went after the second suspect who was trying to get away in a Hyundai Santa Fe. But instead of stopping, the alleged thief drives right at the police officer.

[00:07:51]You know that guy just got hit.

[00:07:53]The second suspect escapes. Santa Fe found abandoned a couple of blocks away.

[00:08:02]K9 officer has a broken rib and is taken to hospital for examination. Two weeks after we accompanied York Regional Police, the second suspect, Muhammad [music] Jogiat, also 18 years old, turned himself in.

[00:08:15]He is now facing [music] multiple charges. Likewise, the first suspect, 18-year-old Ahmed Abdul Wasee, was also charged with multiple offenses including two counts of vehicle theft. Now, imagine if the officer had lost his life. The driver [music] would have faced vehicular homicide charges. But the truth is, the real killers would have been his corrupt colleagues working for these [music] same criminals. And as bad as all of that is, the rot does not stop at the police department yet. The authorities are still trying to frame all of it as an isolated problem.

[00:08:45]So, after this case went public, the official response was exactly what you would expect. Controlled, careful damage control efforts from everyone at the top. First, it was the Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw. Uh, four of them have now been suspended without pay. I'm told these are officers from 12 division, from 11 division, and one of them from the Guns and Gangs, Organized Crime Enforcement Unit.

[00:09:10]>> The way he said he was told should tell you that he's not even very familiar with the details of the case. Anyway, the Ontario Inspector General of Policing also came out to announce a province-wide independent inspection covering all 45 police services across Ontario, not just Toronto, but the entire province. Police officers intent on criminality also may not confine themselves to a single police service by moving between organizations to evade detection.

[00:09:36]Their conduct follows them. That's just another way of saying we have no control over this and we don't know what to do about it. Even Premier Doug Ford is clueless as well. Who do you call when you have an emergency? The police. I love our police. Do we have a a few bad actors? Yeah, they're bad actors. You're going But many people are not buying that. Just take a look at this comment section where someone said, "Not one officer, but seven. Should we trust our police force?" Another said they lost trust in the police a long time ago.

[00:10:05]Someone else wrote, "How many police managers are running interference for these seven accused officers? I doubt all of them will be convicted. There will be higher-level interference to protect some of them at the very least."

[00:10:16]And then there is this one, short and direct, "This is just the tip of the iceberg." Honestly, there's no other better way to say it. And when you see how deep this goes, you'll understand that all the government agencies have been infiltrated by these criminals. So, while the police investigation was ongoing, York Regional Police led a separate year-long investigation called Project Skyfall. That investigation ended up exposing another Ontario government employee connected to a home invasion ring. And it all started with this 911 call. Hi, somebody just came into our house and tried to rob us and threaten us.

[00:10:48]>> Do they have any weapons? The police arrived quickly and arrested one of the suspects while the other two got away.

[00:10:54]But as investigators dug into that home invasion, they found a full criminal organization behind it, a network [music] that had been running coordinated home invasions, armed robberies, and drug trafficking across the GTA since at least 2021. By the time Project Skyfall wrapped up, 17 people were arrested on a combined 83 charges.

[00:11:13]But that's not even the worst part.

[00:11:14][music] The investigation exposed that out of the 17 people arrested in Project Skyfall was an Ontario government employee working [music] at the Ministry of Transportation. And guess what? Just like the corrupt cops, this individual was allegedly using his access to government databases to [music] pull confidential information and feed it directly to the criminal network. That information was then being used to plan and execute home invasions and [music] robberies. So, you see, no one and nowhere is safe. Hundreds of other employees are most probably doing [music] the same thing now, and they might already have your information on their hit list. It's just a matter of time before they show at your front [music] door. So now, the question to you is, what are you going to do about it? How are you holding the government accountable? Or are you just going to sit down and watch?
