OPP, CBSA recover 306 stolen vehicles in sprawling international auto-theft probe
Ontario police say a complex, multi-year investigation has dismantled an organized criminal network responsible for stealing hundreds of vehicles across the province and illegally exporting them to overseas markets.
The joint Ontario Provincial Police and Canada Border Services Agency probe, dubbed “Project Chickadee,” focused not only on vehicle thefts, but on freight forwarding companies accused of knowingly facilitating the illegal export of stolen vehicles to foreign markets, authorities said.
