Three Peel police officers have been suspended in connection with a months-long corruption probe that led to the arrest of seven Toronto police officers, and one retired constable, earlier this week.

Const. Timothy Barnhardt, 56, is facing 18 criminal charges after the months-long probe that allegedly found Toronto cops leaking confidential information leading to shootings, extortions and an attempt murder.

Toronto will create a heritage plaque to commemorate the 1981 bathhouse raids that galvanized the city's 2SLGBTQ+ community, city officials announced Thursday.

Const. Timothy Barnhardt, 56, was denied bail in a Toronto court on Friday afternoon, although defence asked he receive protective custody, which was granted. He is next scheduled to appear in court on March 19.
