Canadian authorities bust major auto theft ring, recovering stolen goods worth $9.24M and arresting 15 individuals in "Project Big Rig" operation.
A major bust in Ontario, codenamed “Project Big Rig,” resulted in the arrest of 15 individuals linked to a substantial auto theft ring. The group targeted commercial vehicles and cargo, reselling the stolen goods. The successful operation, led by multiple police services, unearthed six theft ring-linked locations within the Greater Toronto Area. Search warrants at these locations led to the recovery of 28 cargo containers, 28 tractors, and trailers, totalling $9.24 million in stolen goods.
The accused individuals face various charges, from property possession obtained by crime to trafficking stolen goods.
