As the world prepares to descend on Toronto for FIFA, our city will showcase its diversity, culture, and hospitality on the global stage. But with major international events comes an increased risk of crimes that often go unseen, including human trafficking.

Human trafficking can happen in plain sight. Victims are often hidden in crowded places, hotels, transportation hubs, and entertainment districts. Awareness and vigilance can make a difference.

If something doesn't look right, trust your instincts and take action. Know the signs. Report suspicious activity. Help protect those who may not be able to ask for help themselves.

🚨 Call out the Red Card on human trafficking.

Following the recent Toronto Police Service investigation that resulted in the largest seizure of counterfeit soccer jerseys in Canadian history, Toronto Crime Stoppers is reminding the public that counterfeit merchandise is far from a victimless crime.

The sale of counterfeit goods often supports organized criminal networks and has been linked to other serious crimes, including human trafficking, labour exploitation, and illicit trade. Every counterfeit purchase helps fund criminal activity that impacts our communities.

If you have information about individuals or groups involved in the production, distribution, or sale of counterfeit merchandise, contact Toronto Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477 or leave a tip online at 222tips.com. Your tip could help disrupt organized crime and make our communities safer.
