Peel Regional Police allege the suspects broke into automotive stores to steal car parts and believe the suspects were involved in illegal street racing rings.
Police in Halton Region, Peel Region and Toronto, as well as provincial police and officers patrolling Canadian borders, began surveilling the alleged ring last year.
A number of charges have been laid and $1.65 million worth of stolen tractor trailer loads have been recovered as part of “Project Copperhead,” York Regional Police say.
