Toronto police recover more than 550 stolen vehicles worth $27M and promise they’re not done after 119 arrests in case
Toronto police have recovered more than 550 stolen vehicles worth an estimated $27 million, including many that were bound for sale overseas, during an ongoing auto theft investigation launched last year.
The probe has led to the recovery of 556 stolen vehicles, police said, adding that the 119 people arrested are facing a total of 314 charges. Det. Sgt. Peter Wehby said the spike in auto thefts is not exclusive to the GTA. “This is a now provincial, national and even international problem.” Several of the stolen vehicles were recovered thanks to owners’ tracking devices, including Apple Air Tags left in their cars, said Taverner. GPS tracking of one stolen car led to the recovery of 30 others from a shipping container facility, he said.
