Security footage captured at a Mississauga condominium parking garage shows the alleged theft of a BMV motorcycle, carried out in a matter of minutes.
“My assumption is these guys are fairly organized,” Jason, the owner of the motorcycle, told CTV News Toronto. “They came prepared.”
Jason said he had the bike heavily chained, so he believes that the individuals must have cut through the metal. In the video, chains can be seen hanging from the motorcycle. Peel police confirmed the incident was reported to the service, and said its officers are conducting an ongoing investigation. A spokesperson for the service said they have no suspect information to provide at this time.
According to a statement by Toronto police issued to CP24 this week, the number of auto thefts taking place in the city has more than doubled since 2019. As of Oct. 14, 9,476 vehicles have been reported stolen in Toronto – an increase of 30 per cent from the same time last year.
