Thank you to our Auto/Cargo Theft Unit investigators for their excellent work recovering 88 stolen vehicles valued at more than 5 million dollars. Vehicle thefts are a rising concern but our officers work hard to find these vehicles & those responsible

Six weeks. Five districts. Four platoons. Nearly 600 officers. And a whole lot of good conversation. Tonight I'm in Keswick wrapping up my first round of District visits. Great way to hear from members and learn more about the fantastic work they're doing in our community.

A recovery of stolen property of the magnitude could not have been possible without the dedication of our investigators and the important partnerships with our policing and investigative partners. It will be an exciting early holiday season for those who get their vehicles back.

Did we mention that the adult accused was already on bail for unrelated charges and on a firearms prohibition at the time of these offences? Great teamwork between @YRP units to put a dangerous trio in custody.
