Caledon OPP has recovered 16 stolen vehicles after carrying out multiple search warrants at two addresses in Caledon and Brampton.
The estimated value of the vehicles is almost $1,000,000.
Police received a tip on February 16th, and as a result of the information, Caledon OPP’s Community Street Crime Unit went to work.
They say the investigation remains ongoing and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
The vehicles seized in the two searches are:
– 10 RAM pickup trucks
– Toyota Highlander SUVs
– 1 Lexus RX35 SUV
– 1 Chevrolet Suburban SUV
– 1 Volkswagen Passat
– 1 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV
Police continue to share tips to protect yourself from theft, including:
– Report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood.
– Park your vehicle in a well-lit area.
– Place your keys in a “faraday bag” and do not store them by your front door or in front of windows. This bag will isolate your fob’s signal and prevent its frequency from being copied or amplified.
– If you have access to a garage, park your vehicle indoors.
– Consider installing a security camera at your residence. This can alert you, often in real-time, to suspicious activity occurring on your property.
-A steering wheel lock, such as “The Club,” can make your vehicle a less desirable target.
– Install a secondary audible alarm. These alarms can alert you or your neighbours to suspicious activity or attempted threats on your property.
– Use temporary means to cover the VIN displayed on the front windshield of your vehicle. Do not alter or modify it.
– Store your vehicle ownership, proof of insurance, and any other sensitive documents in your wallet or purse, not your glove box.
