Three Canadian Soldiers Among Seven Arrested in Toronto Crypto-Kidnapping Investigation

Seven people, including three active Canadian Armed Forces members, have been arrested in Toronto over an alleged kidnapping linked to an attempted cryptocurrency theft. Police have laid a total of 82 charges against the group.

The arrests were confirmed by Toronto police. The involvement of serving military personnel makes the case an unusual one for a crypto-related crime. Authorities have not disclosed which cryptocurrency was targeted or how much was at stake, but investigators say the case involves an alleged attempt to take digital assets from a victim by force.

The 82 charges suggest the incident may have involved a coordinated effort. The Canadian Armed Forces have yet to comment publicly on the three soldiers’ status.
