57歲多倫多華人男子涉冒充上海公安於萬錦市行騙，遭約克區警隊區域罪案調查科落案起訴多項詐騙罪。

2022年10月，一名萬錦市受害人接到未知陌生來電，男子自稱上海市公安，要求受害人付款，否則會遭逮捕。同年11月，該名疑犯登門，於受害人萬錦市家門口出示偽造證件，聲稱證件由上海市公安及國際刑警組織聯合簽發。疑犯再度以逮捕要脅受害人付款，並開車接載受害人到兩間銀行提款。期間，疑犯曾出示偽造文件自證為上海市公安主管且有代為保管款項之權限。

今年10月3日，57歲男子吳志勇（zhi yong wu，音譯）被控多項控罪，包括：詐騙超過 5,000加元、勒索、持有犯罪所得財產、偽造文件和冒充官員等罪。

警方強調，外國警察部門在加拿大沒有執法權，他們採取任何行動都需要通過當地警察機構或加拿大皇家騎警。任何外國警察機構都無權在加拿大境內逮捕或控告任何人。
