Canadian authorities say they prevented nearly 600 stolen vehicles from being exported overseas after searching 390 shipping containers at the Port of Montreal
Canadian authorities said Wednesday they prevented nearly 600 stolen vehicles from being exported overseas after searching 390 shipping containers at the Port of Montreal. Around three-quarters of the 598 seized vehicles, with an estimated value of $34.5 million Canadian , were stolen in the neighboring province of Ontario, the Ontario Provincial Police and Canada Border Services Agency said. A surge in auto thefts in Canada’s largest city of Toronto has left many residents frustrated.
“As our intelligence indicated, the vast majority of recovered stolen vehicles, more than 430, were taken from the Greater Toronto Area,” Kearns said. Thieves target relatively new vehicles, including high-end pickup trucks and SUVs, which are then exported to markets in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America, he said. No arrests have yet been made as part of the three-and-a-half month operation.
