ice-capades Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Thieves Steal 14 Ford Edge Crossovers from Oakville Assembly https://fordauthority.com/2024/01/thieves-steal-14-ford-edge-crossovers-from-oakville-assembly/ Over the past couple of years, the automotive theft epidemic in the U.S. has expanded to include a number of Ford-owned storage lots, where thieves continue to take a number of pricey pickups and SUVs, largely, directly from the source. These crimes have involved a series of Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R pickups – some of which were found missing their wheels and engines – a variety of Ford Performance models that had their rolling stock taken directly from a parking lot, and a number of F-150 Raptor pickups stolen from Roush Performance, to name just a few incidents. Now, this type of crime has spread north of the border, as thieves recently stole a total of 14 Ford Edge crossovers from the Oakville Assembly plant in Canada, too. According to the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS), a number of thieves broke into the Oakville plant earlier this month by cutting a hole in the fence surrounding that facility, after which they somehow managed to make off with more than a dozen Ford Edge models valued at around $630,000. On the bright side, a grand total of 12 of those 14 models have since been recovered in the Greater Toronto Area following a joint effort between multiple police departments there. Additionally, police have arrested five suspects believed to have been involved in this case, all of whom are facing a multitude of charges, as one might imagine. Thus far, those charges include possession of property obtained by crimes both under and over $5,000, multiple counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, several counts of failure to comply with a release order, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a controlled substance, and one charge for breach weapons prohibition.

Oac98 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 For all the cameras that they have up in the security tower this shouldn’t happen. We were laid off for two weeks when this occurred. Security is obviously lax or they were in on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
