A man and woman from Pickering , Ontario , have been charged after allegedly staging a vehicle theft and collecting insurance money. Durham Regional Police Service ( DRPS ) received a report of a stolen vehicle in the Fairport Road and Strouds Lane area of Pickering on August 20, 2024. The investigation revealed that the woman, who was later compensated by her insurance company, had taken the vehicle to a dealership in early August.
The dealership determined the vehicle was inoperable and made several attempts to contact the woman to remove it. However, the vehicle was never retrieved.
