(CALEDON, ON) - Members of the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are currently investigating a shooting incident.

On November 25, 2025, at approximately 4:00 am, officers responded to a report of a shooting in front of a residence on Chinguacousy Road, in the Town of Caledon. No injuries were sustained as a result of the incident.

Investigators believe this to be a targeted incident of extortion.

What is extortion?  The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre defines it as “unlawfully obtaining money, property or services from a person, entity, or institution through coercion.”

Based on recent extortion cases investigated by Caledon OPP, many involve phone calls or text messages from a ‘WhatsApp’ number, threatening violence unless a large sum of money is paid, and mentioning knowledge of the individual’s home or workplace.
