Members from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges against an individual following an investigation into a fraudulent collision report.

On January 21, 2026, officers from the Caledon OPP received a report of a fail to remain motor vehicle collision. The complainant alleged an unknown driver struck their vehicle and fled the scene without exchanging insurance information.

Officers entered into an investigation which suggested a fail to remain collision did not occur, but rather the complainant had previously been involved in a collision approximately a month prior, which resulted in significant damages to their vehicle. At the time of the collision, the vehicle was uninsured and as a result, the complainant fabricated a new collision report in an attempt to obtain reimbursement for the damages illegitimately.

As a result of the investigation, a 23-year-old from Caledon was charged with:

• Public mischief
• Fraud over $5000

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to the charges.

Fraud involving vehicle collisions and automotive insurance can take many different forms. To learn more about current trends and preventative measures, please visit the website here.
