Organized crime members are coming to Canada from South America with the goal of burglarizing homes and stealing thousands of dollars in items and cash. Saturday on CTV at 7 p.m., W5 investigates this alarming global trend known as 'crime tourism.'

Last Updated Friday, January 24, 2020 4:17PM ESTTORONTO -- There is a new type of tourist coming to Canada, one that is not interested in seeing the sights this country has to offer, but in burglarizing houses, particularly in affluent neighbourhoods.

In Montreal at least six Chileans were arrested by police. They were part of a gang, police say, stole more than $210,000 in cash and jewelry from one house alone. “Having strangers in our home and especially in our kids bedrooms. That part was really sickening,” said Crawford. “We were able to get evidence to suggest that they were wiring money back home. Presumably that’s from pawning out property,” said Foley.

”It’s difficult because of how transient they are. It’s difficult to monitor them within Canada,” said Det. Sgt. Foley.The transient nature of these criminals puts the onus on the Canadian Border Services Agency to filter these would-be criminals from entering Canada in the first place.

Old news my friends

Time to screen chileans

Welcome to a dysfunctional world for those who are beginning to wake up. Wimpy immigration vetting, wimpy criminal justice system for such crimes. Too many weak willed politicians (Trudeau gang as an example).

And this is exactly why it's BS that we can't protect our homes with a firearm. Activities are the enablers of all wrong doing in this country.

Chileans? What are you hiding from Canadians pm blackface?

Thank you JustinTrudeau for making Canada safer

Last time I checked, the prison population in Canada is 99% christian.. Too many brothers and sisters having kids!!

Just another example of how Liberal policies and legislation is enabling high end organized crime into our Country and allows is to flourish!

No worries our courts will find them not guilty and be given severance. Instead deport and cut funding to those countries who seem unaware of their countrymen’s crime.

LOL, so, the police are aware of it, csis is aware of it, customs is aware of it and NOTHING is being done...once again, welcome to trudeau-castro's dystopian reign of terror

savagecookie 'Open the borders!', Liberals said. 'It'll be fun!', Liberals said. If you get robbed, if someone in your family is raped or murdered, don't talk about it, it never happened. It's for the 'greater good!' Always remember, DiversityIsOurStrength WelcomeToCanada

Seems like the majority of the tourist criminals are visiting from Chilie .

Diversity is our strength!!

Thanks again jihad justin.

'Can we stop crime tourism? I doubt we can stop crime tourism.' Well that's reassuring!

No surprise during the soviet break ip alot easter europes came here and they were the one who wete resposible for the streak of bne pistolwipping were they just drove up in van would kick doors down and just rush the place in groups

Please leave us alone with your sensationalist news move. Especially whit your anchors need a change

Ask them for visas.

If only there was some deterrent law abiding citizens could keep I. Their houses....

Perhaps requiring VISAs is in order?

So much easier to just claim asylum, then the government robs the taxpayer for you.

Too bad we didn't have stronger borders CANADA

Police Care this?

Diversity is our strength

Fail to understand why we are letting immigrants, refugees and tourist scrum bags into our country!

Yep. Saw this coming. Pretty soon, they’ll be robbing stores too.

Welcome to the world of multi-culturalism.

Interesting.

What did Canada do to Chile ? They have no right to come to Canada and violate people that is just not the way to handle things.

I'm Chilean living in Canada for a decade, and besides feeling extremely angry for these scumbags, I found hilarious people in my native Chile are criticizing immigrants for 'spoiling our country'

When you have government departments that doesn't talk to each other that's what happen.

Our government opened our borders to them.

Thanks JustinTrudeau this is what you call diversity?

diversity is our downfall...………00 buckshot would solve the problem

The common sense response is to require visas for Chilean tourists. Will the Feb. Liberals fix it ? Don't hold your breath.

For those of you who didn't read the story ,they are coming from Chile. Chilean gangs doing this for a living. Time for the retinal scans to come in before entry.

Losers

Why castle law doctrine needs to be adopted here: this.

Perfect example of why law abiding citizens need to arm themselves.

Shoot shovel and shutup

Where do they come from? Mexico

My first question when I catch you breaking into my house is 'Does anyone know you're here?'

When entering Japan, one must give up a thumb print. We should do the same to all tourists coming to Canada.

Tourists have figured out life's cheap in Toronto and little consequences for crime.

Anyone doing any form of crime in this country should be held to the most highest punishment then deport their low life ass back and bam the ish out of them. Perhaps we should consider people getting visas when arriving here from certain countries.

Does your definition of tourist really mean immigrant or asylum seeker?

I think the Canadian people will take care of them

😡

Break into my house and catch a quicker deportation than you were expecting.

Diversity. Culture. Multiculturalism.
