The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) helped arrested five suspects following an investigation into a series of residential break and enters across York Region, Peel Region, and Toronto.
On Friday, December 13th, officers were conducting an investigation into a group of suspects identified as responsible for a series of residential break and enters. At roughly 7:50 p.m., the suspects committed a residential break and enter in the area of Avenue Road and Wilson Avenue in Toronto.
The same suspects then attempted to commit a second break and enter in the area of Indian Road and Woodeden Drive in Mississauga.
The suspects then returned to a rental property in the area of Burnhamthorpe Road and Eternity Way in Oakville. One suspect was followed to a gas station where he was taken into custody. As investigators were getting ready to execute a search warrant, four additional suspects fled the residence and were taken into custody with the assistance of the HRPS.
Investigators executed the search warrant and numerous items of jewellery and valuables were recovered. Investigators have been able to link the accused parties to six break and enters.
Due to the number of items recovered, investigators are still working to process the evidence. A Dropbox folder will be created in the coming weeks and subsequent media releases will be made available to the public to assist investigators in returning stolen property to rightful owners.
Investigators believe the accused to be in the country for the purpose of committing criminal offences. A list of names, photos, and charges can be found HERE.
