Halton Regional Police (HRP) regional auto theft task force in partnership with Canada Border Services Agency has recovered four stolen vehicles that were sent to Dubai.
The stolen vehicles were among numerous that were initially flagged as part of a 2023 investigation (see initial release below). While multiple vehicles were previously recovered, authorities were unable to have two shipping containers carrying these four vehicles turned around before reaching Dubai.
Through on-going collaboration between Canadian authorities and law enforcement in Dubai, the two containers were eventually rerouted back to Canada, and in late January 2024, HRP investigators took custody of the two containers carrying the following four stolen vehicles:
One Lexus SUV initially stolen from Halton, two Ford-150s stolen from Peel and Toronto, and one Land Rover Range Rover also stolen from Peel .
The total value of the recovered vehicles is approximately $200,000.
Investigation into these thefts is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Regional Auto Theft Task Force at 905-825-4777 ext. 3407.
Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers. "See something? Hear something? Know something? Contact Crime Stoppers" at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or through the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.ca.
