A scrap yard business manger says the city's use of undercover bylaw officers to target his industry is wrong and doesn't take into account the complexity of social issues in London. "I think it's insulting that the city would be spending resources on this kind of thing. It seriously calls into question the discretion and judgment of the person who would authorize such an action," he added.

What the city saysWhen asked if undercover officers were part of the blitz, Orest Katolyk, the city's chief bylaw enforcement officer, said they don't discuss their protocols.
