Canada Border Services Agency announces that a major auto theft investigation has led to organised-crime and money-laundering charges against individuals and companies allegedly exporting stolen vehicles

In December 2025, the CBSA and partner agencies unveiled results from a long-running investigation into transnational auto theft rings, alleging that suspects facilitated export of stolen vehicles and laundered proceeds through complex schemes. The operation includes criminal and money-laundering charges against multiple individuals and entities, highlighting cross-border enforcement cooperation to disrupt organized crime and financial crime linked to the auto theft supply chain.
