Fraudsters were living the high life:
A group of fraudsters were living it up as they stole people’s identities and bought luxury goods, Toronto Police allege.
Two men have been charged and two are being sought in an alleged $10-million fraud ring.
“These people lived a high-profile lifestyle of conspicuous consumption fuelled by the proceeds of identity theft and fraud,” Det. Sgt. Ian Nichol, of the financial crimes unit, said Tuesday.
Some of the items seized during the Project Royal investigation include a $150,000 Romain Jerome Moon Dust DNA Automatic watch, a pair of crocodile hide shoes for $10,000, as well as sunglasses, clothing and perfume all with price tags in the thousands and most being purchased in the Yorkville area.
Identity information of 5,000 GTA residents was also seized, along with dozens of fraudulently obtained credit cards and hundreds of pieces of stolen mail.
It is believed the fraud ring had connections to individuals who had access to people’s identities and served them up for a fee.
“I can tell you they had associations with people in financial institutions,” Det. Const. Mike Kelly said, adding police are trying to track them down.
In December 2016, Adedayo Ogundana, 45, also known as Oladipupo Ogund, of Toronto, was arrested and charged with 12 counts of fraud and possession of property obtained by crime.
Police executed a search warrant at a Yorkville condo on April 24 while looking for Adekunle Johnson Omitiran, 37, and seized cash, watches, jewelry and clothing.
Omitiran later surrendered to police and was charged with several counts of fraud and identity theft, possession of stolen credit cards, and possession of proceeds of crime.
A warrant has also been issued for Duro Akintola, 44, of Toronto, who is also known as Michie Noah.
Emmanuel Salako, 47, of Toronto, who is also known as Gee Salaq, is wanted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Chicago.
Toronto Police worked with the RCMP, the Competition Bureau of Canada, Ontario government agencies, and U.S. agencies such as the postal service to bust the ring.





Police in Toronto, Canada have arrested two Nigerians believed to be involved in a $10 million fraud ring.
The two fraudsters lived a “high-profile lifestyle of conspicuous consumption” supported by the proceeds of criminal activities, police announced on Tuesday.
“Thousands of individuals across the greater Toronto area have had their information compromised,” said Detective-Constable Mike Kelly. According to Mr. Kelly, unsuspecting victims have collectively lost an estimated $10 million.
Among the items seized during the investigation include a $10,000 pair of crocodile leather shoes, 37 stolen credit cards, $310,000 worth of wristwatches, $390,000 worth of clothing, jewelry and liquor, $39,000 in cash, hundreds of pieces of stolen mail, and several notebooks containing personal information of at least 5,000 residents of the greater Toronto area.
The evidence was discovered on April 24 during a raid of a condominium owned by Adekunle Johnson Omitiran, 37.
Mr. Omitiran turned himself in on April 27 and will face charges of fraud, identity theft, trafficking identity information, possession of credit cards obtained by crime, possession of proceeds of crime, and failure to comply with probation at court on May 19, according to The Star.
Another Nigerian-Canadian, Adedayo Ogundana, 45, was arrested in December 2016 in connection with the same Toronto crime syndicate. He was charged with 12 counts of fraud, identity theft, possession of stolen credit cards, and possession of the proceeds of crime.
The Toronto Sun reports that police have issued an arrest warrant for Duro Akintola, 44, a Toronto local. Emmanuel Salako, 47, is wanted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Chicago for his involvement in the fraud ring.
