Toronto Police are still probing any possible link between an alleged debit-card scam they broke up over the weekend and an FBI-led international terror investigation that involved 13 suspects in Canada and the U.S. last week believed to be procuring arms for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Five men were arrested in Toronto on Saturday, allegedly in the act of emptying victims' accounts using stolen information obtained through a compromised debit machine, said Detective Sergeant Stephen Craddock. Between May and this past week, he said the ring is suspected of bilking a still-uncalculated amount from thousands of users of a debit machine at a Mississauga restaurant. Charged with 25 offences in relation to the alleged scam are Ganeshananthan Mahadevan, 36, Thuthikaran Thurapalasingam, 26, Tharmaraj Nagularajah, 26, Thubaharan Subas, 22, and Kishokanth Tharmapalan, 26.
