Former Service Ontario employee helped disguise 100 stolen vehicles, Toronto police say

Toronto police said Friday during an update on a major auto theft and re-vinning investigation that a former Service Ontario employee was helping the suspects disguise stolen vehicles by providing falsified documents and license plates.

Police allege the Service Ontario employee created new, legitimate vehicle registrations and license plates for stolen vehicles that were used to re-vin the vehicles to make them appear legitimate.

“The stolen vehicles, now with new identities were sold to unsuspecting buyers or used in other criminal activities throughout the city,” explained Det. Dan Grayling of the 53 Division Major Crime Unit.

Police say to evade detection some vehicles were registered to people who had died or did not exist.
Four people have been arrested and 28 charges laid in connection with this scheme, Det. Grayling says. Of the 100 vehicles stolen and re-vinned, police have recovered 21 vehicles worth between $1.5 to $1.8 million.

Two thirds or 66% of all Ontario Service outlets are outsourced by the Ontario government to 100% PRIVATE businesses, is this one from one of the private run outlets or one of the government run outlets?

This officer succinctly explained that if you buy a used vehicle that happens to be stolen, you have no recourse and you will possibly be considered a criminal. This is the logical equivalent of blaming a young girl for wearing a short skirt, and....

This guy better be charged and put in prison for each vehicle.
He should get over 100 years ten per vehicle.
Make this deterrence real for this to stop.
