Durham Regional Police have disclosed the results of Project Jetsetter, an investigation into the phenomenon of 'criminal tourism' within the Greater Toronto Area.

杜蘭區警方公布了「Jetsetter 計畫」的調查結果，該計畫針對大多倫多地區出現的「犯罪旅遊」現象。

The investigation, spanning from 2019 to the present, identifies a systemic pattern wherein foreign nationals utilize legal entry permits to facilitate profit-driven illicit activities. This operational model is characterized by high mobility and the utilization of international criminal networks, with a primary concentration of suspects originating from Romania and India. The financial impact within the Durham Region is quantified at $2.6 million, encompassing over 200 distinct incidents.

此次調查從 2019 年持續至今，發現了一種系統性模式，即外國國民利用合法入境許可來促成以獲利為目的的非法活動。此運作模式的特點是高流動性並利用國際犯罪網絡，嫌疑人主要集中來自羅馬尼亞和印度。杜蘭區內的經濟影響量化為 260 萬加幣，涵蓋超過 200 起不同的事件。

The modalities of these operations are diverse, ranging from large-scale retail theft and insurance fraud via staged collisions to sophisticated vehicle-related scams. Specifically, the 'dirty oil scam' involves the intentional degradation of a vehicle's condition during inspection to depress the purchase price. Furthermore, the illicit acquisition of vehicles through fraudulent documentation for subsequent exportation constitutes a significant component of the network's activity. Nominalization of these tactics reveals a structured approach to maximizing capital extraction while minimizing traceability, often achieved by avoiding the formal registration of assets in the suspects' names.

這些操作的手段多樣，從大規模零售盜竊、透過製造碰撞事故進行保險詐欺，到複雜的車輛相關詐騙。具體而言，「污油詐騙」涉及在檢查期間故意降低車輛狀況，以壓低購買價格。此外，透過偽造文件非法取得車輛並隨後出口，構成了該網絡活動的重要組成部分。對這些手段的分析揭示了一種結構化方法，旨在最大化資本榨取並最小化可追溯性，通常透過避免以嫌疑人名義正式登記資產來實現。

Of particular concern is the escalation of jewelry distraction thefts, which have experienced a 268 percent increase. These operations frequently target elderly populations through deceptive social interactions. The transient nature of these actors—who frequently depart the jurisdiction prior to identification—presents a substantial challenge to law enforcement. Consequently, the investigation has necessitated over 5,000 hours of labor and the coordination of multiple provincial and national agencies to mitigate the borderless nature of these criminal enterprises.

特別令人關注的是珠寶分心盜竊案的激增，增幅達 268%。這些操作經常透過欺騙性的社交互動針對老年人口。這些行為者的流動特性——他們經常在被識別前離開司法管轄區——對執法部門構成了重大挑戰。因此，該調查需要超過 5,000 小時的勞動力，以及多個省級和國家級機構的協調，以緩解這些無國界犯罪企業的影響。

Project Jetsetter remains active, with 46 arrests executed and 164 suspects still sought by authorities.

Jetsetter 計畫仍在進行中，已逮捕 46 人，另有 164 名嫌疑人仍被當局追緝。
