A car stopped by patrol officers in Edmonton, Canada has been accused of dangerous driving. As the traffic police searched the car, they found drugs, a gun and a wanted man inside. Indian-origin Safaldeep Singh, wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for conspiracy to commit murder and extortion, has been arrested by the Edmonton Police Service. Singh is suspected of having ties to the “Four Brothers” gang, an organized criminal network linked to shootings and extortion targeting South Asian business owners and community members in Canada and the United States.The incident happened in May. Safaldeep Singh, 22, Sandeep Singh, 28, and Divyanshu, 22, were arrested on charges of multiple drug trafficking and firearms related offences. He was released on bail. Two search warrants were executed at the residence of Safaldeep Singh on May 28 and June 23, 2026, resulting in the seizure of evidence linking vehicle re-winning operations to extortion-related crimes and Safaldeep was re-arrested on June 23 under a Canada-wide warrant on charges of trafficking in property obtained by crime, possession of stolen property and unauthorized possession of a firearm, in addition to his charges.After Singh was processed on EPS charges in Edmonton, he was transferred to Ontario to face charges on his Canada-wide warrant.“We have been investigating extortion networks and their multi-jurisdictional relationships in Canada for some time, and we have established a coordinated approach with a focus on effective intelligence collection, sharing and enforcement action across provinces,” says Staff Sergeant Eric Stewart of the EPS Investigations Branch. “In this investigation, we are particularly grateful to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Peel Regional Police for their close cooperation, which led to Singh’s arrest and connections to violent incidents on the other side of the country.““Extortion and targeted violence has had a profound impact on victims, families and businesses, particularly within the South Asian community. Bringing those responsible to justice requires seamless collaboration across jurisdictions, and this investigation is testament to what can be accomplished when police services and our law enforcement partners work together toward a common goal. We thank the Edmonton Police Service for their extraordinary co-operation and are committed to pursuing those who threaten our communities.” Seek to intimidate and cause harm,” said Peel Regional Police Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich.
