Project Safari: ServiceOntario employees trafficked hundreds of GTA car owners’ addresses, then helped ‘re-VIN’ their stolen cars, Toronto police say

Seven GTA residents, including ServiceOntario employees, are accused of taking part in a major auto theft ring that involved widespread identity theft.

Some 73 charges were laid in the police investigation, called Project Safari, which began in February 2023.

“As the project progressed, investigators learned that suspects were conspiring with employees at ServiceOntario, who were trafficking in driving and vehicle data taken from the Ministry of Transportation database,” Toronto police said in a prepared statement.
