More than 350 vehicles have been recovered and 59 people have been arrested following an auto-theft investigation by Toronto police, who say some ServiceOntario employees were involved in a scheme that provided fraudulent vehicle identification numbers (VINs) for stolen cars.
The results of the investigation, known as Project Thoroughbred, were shared by police Chief Myron Demkiw and Supt. Ron Taverner at a press conference in Scarborough on Friday morning. Toronto police say they have recovered 363 stolen vehicles, valued at $14 million, and have laid 302 charges so far.
