Halton Regional Police have arrested three suspects following an investigation into fraudulent vehicle purchases involving stolen identities, forged financial documents and luxury vehicles.

Three people are facing multiple criminal charges following a Halton Regional Police investigation into an alleged vehicle-financing fraud scheme. The investigation, known as Project Macan, began in May after a 2018 Porsche Macan was allegedly purchased from an Oakville dealership using stolen identification and falsified documents. Investigators subsequently recovered the vehicle in Milton.

As detectives examined the initial transaction, they uncovered additional suspected fraudulent vehicle-financing arrangements. Police allege that the transactions involved stolen identities, fabricated employment and financial information, forged documents and stolen credit card details.

On October 20th, investigators executed five search warrants at locations in Milton and Toronto, resulting in the arrests of two men and one woman. Officers seized electronic devices, Royal Bank of Canada authentication tokens, Canadian currency, luxury designer merchandise, fraudulent Ontario driver’s licences and banking records. The recovered materials formed part of the investigation into the alleged financing scheme.

Police identified the accused as Amin Mohamed, 25, and Kevin Jeevanithy, 25, both of Milton, and Mariam Dukuray, 24, of Toronto. Mohamed faces several charges, including fraud over $5,000 in connection with both the Halton and York investigations, along with offences involving a stolen credit card. Jeevanithy has been charged with fraud over $5,000, while Dukuray faces charges of fraud over $5,000, identity fraud and uttering a forged document.

All three accused were released on undertakings and are scheduled to appear in court in Milton at a later date. The allegations have not been proven in court.

Halton Regional Police are asking anyone with information about the investigation to contact officers at 905-825-4777.
