Peel Regional Police are warning residents across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to take extra precautions when hiring contractors, following a major fraud case in Brampton involving a bogus construction company that scammed victims out of more than $800,000.

On July 25, 2025, police issued an official notice on their website urging homeowners and business owners to thoroughly research any contractor before signing agreements or handing over money. Residents are encouraged to check references, confirm business legitimacy, verify credentials, and review online or social media feedback.

“Peel Regional Police is committed to sharing information that helps keep our communities safe from fraud. Knowing how to spot and report fraudulent activity can prevent future victimisation,” the advisory stated.

The warning comes on the heels of an investigation by the 21 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB), which revealed a suspected fraudulent business operation under the name A&E Contractors, linked to Timothy Glen Carter.

According to investigators, reports started surfacing in July 2024, alleging that A&E Contractors took deposits for home renovations and construction work but failed to deliver any services. After a year-long investigation, police determined the company had no legitimate business presence, no physical address, and no registered corporate records.

So far, the total reported loss stands at over $800,000.

A warrant has now been issued for Timothy Glen Carter, who is wanted on charges of Fraud Over $5,000. Police believe there may be more victims who have yet to come forward.

“If you or someone you know had dealings with A&E Contractors or Timothy Glen Carter, we urge you to contact us,” investigators said.

How to Report:

  • Call 21 Division CIB: 905-453-2121, ext. 2133
  • Peel Crime Stoppers (Anonymous Tip): 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Peel Police continue to advise residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious business activity. For tips on avoiding contractor fraud, visit Peel Police Fraud Prevention Resources.
