Nearly 800 vehicles have been reported stolen in Ottawa so far this year, and police say in many cases, organized crime groups are taking them to the nearest port, Montreal, to be shipped overseas.
Once inside, thieves can connect to the vehicle's on-board computer, start the car, and in some cases drive away all in less than one minute. Simple solutions such as 'The Club' steering wheel lock for about $60 is an economical choice. Another option is to have a vehicle immobilizer installed, which disables the key from working or even a hidden mechanical ‘kill switch’ to prevent, for instance, the fuel pump from receiving power.
The PortMTL is a popular destination for exporting stolen cars from Ontario & Quebec. Organized crime keeps the stolen car industry strong in Canada. Canada is also soft on criminals convicted of organized car thefts.
Crime rates will only get worse with JUSTINflation running rampant 🤷🏻♂️, but hey let's defund the police right 😂
It is shame for Ottawa Police. They need to increase security
