Operation GTA was initiated in June of this year as “a joint-forces operation focused on identifying and targeting the criminal networks responsible for funding and fueling the increase in violent carjackings across the Greater Toronto Area.”
Police said in a press release that instances of carjackings had been on the rise during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and that many of the incidents involved armed suspects, posing serious risks to public safety. “These re-vinned vehicles are stolen and have had their Vehicle Identification Numbers altered. Investigators believe that some of these vehicles have been resold to unsuspecting buyers,” police said in the release.
