Vehicle-Related Crime

According to Statistics Canada, the number of vehicles stolen in Canada annually remains stable at approximately 160,000. Organized crime groups involved in vehicle-related crime primarily operate out of Montreal and Toronto and continue to steal heavy equipment or vehicles for ‘re-vinning,’ exportation, or the operation of chop shops. A small percentage of vehicles and heavy equipment stolen in Ontario and Quebec are exported internationally, while some groups continue to engage in staged collisions.
