Peel police recovered 78 vehicles allegedly en route to the Middle East after a months-long investigation into an auto theft ring in the Greater Toronto Area.

“The seizure is worth $10 million, and takes that money out of organized crime that could otherwise support other criminal activity,” Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said during a news conference at headquarters on Tuesday morning.

Project R&R, a months-long multi-jurisdictional investigation, which commenced in October 2022, focused on auto theft across the GTA, Quebec, and overseas. During the announcement, police confirmed the stolen vehicles were recovered at various locations and ports, including Brampton, Montreal, Germany, and Spain.“Officers arrested four individuals, involved in the organized theft, transport, and export of high-end vehicles including Range Rovers from within the Region of Peel,” Insp. Trevor Oldham said Tuesday.

Peel police arrested 29-year-old Imad Assi, 29-year-old Altayab Brafcany, 44-year-old Re’Fat Faris Mustafa Khatabeh, and 48-year-old Michael Zureiqat.

Check out the last names. Boot them out of Canada if they are not Canadian citizens.

Send them to Saudia and tell Saudis to implement their punishment for theft on these fine gentlemen. Then call them back for people to witness. There's no cure for hardened people like these who consider it their right to take other people's properties. Make an example out of em

I thought black people are stealing this cars, poor black people they get blamed for everything .

Good work!

Hmmm its quite the coincidence that violent crime skyrockets at the same time our government allows refugees unchecked into the country at a huge rate. I'm sure it's just me though I'm probably a racist for pointing that out.

So diversity is actually our downfall then

Deport dem

Deport them back to where they came from. Take away their Cdn citizenship. This is the only way to deal with criminals in Canada.

Deport these carpet washers back to whoever claims them!

All skilled trades? “Auto-mechanics” during immigration applications lol

Oh, good canadian boys!!

25 yrs jail and then deport them to a third world country. They might then understand importance of canada.

Send them back

In Toronto, 6000 vehicles were stolen last year. A large percentage were shipped overseas. With all of the measures in place with imports & exports, why are only a tiny fraction recovered? - Lack of enforcement. Perhaps the CBSA can be a little bit more attentive to this problem.

HABIBY COME TO 🇨🇦!!!

Invite the third world, get third world results. Garbage in, garbage out.

Diversity counts 😂😂🤣 Deport IMMEDIATELY

JustinTrudeau voters no doubt

Do you remember the 2017 refugee influx? The “majority” of that influx was of these qualities. Trudeau is responsible. That was irresponsible and impulsive political stunt.

I would say let the army interrogate them…. They are part of a larger network. Also, I blame UAE authorities without whom the stolen vehicles wouldn’t go through. Black Dot ⚫️ for UAE!

deportation maybe?

Scumbags

Grate Job Force!! Hope my Range is there👏👏👏👌👌👌 By the way they don’t deserve to be in Canada. Send them back from they came from…

They'll be out of the country by Saturday.

Another failed vetting process?

The corrupt system let's them back out.

Gross

Dirty A-rabs

They look more like Islamic terrorists than your regular criminals, and they probably are, in fact. They're probably helping to fund terrorist activity.

Spit on there face and put chilly up there hairy ass n send them back in a tiny lil boat

Well done cops! Now, it'd sure be a shame if these guys somehow found themselves inside of one of those sea cans headed for Abu Dhabi.

good Ole 👍 Canadian

Any of Ford’s donors?

Build an underground jail and start dumping the public nemesis. Enough of this mess

Please make to ship these ppl out too

Poor immigrants, hard time assimilating

Will be out tomorrow…restarting their “Import/Export Business”

They look the same like one with and one without hair. No doubt they will be back with bigger plans soon .

It’s about time they did something about this.

Anyone of those vehicles have golf clubs in the back? Asking for a friend odognine2

Ha, good job coppers, but guarantee they won’t be spending more than a year in jail… welcome to 🇨🇦

Did they find that guy's rented Dodge Ram? I am sure he would like that back if possible see as he now owns it 😅

MShawX

In the article it says 'VIN Number' its just VIN..... Whoever edited this should have known that it looks like you're saying vehicle identification number number. just saying lol.

Put them in a shipping container and ship them off to the middle east. ✌️

Exile them

Excellent. Lock them all up

odognine2

All Justin Trudeau’s voters “ Diversity is our strength “

What did Canada think letting all these Arabs into the country ? They were all gonna work hard at Tim Hortons ? 😅 ya right!

Deport !!

Well what do you know , the same guys hanging out at Tim Hortons all day planning to make Canada great.

Canada has too many Shithole countries people.

, shouldn’t your headline read en from Aurora, North York and Mississauga arrested in car theft ring? You always seem to identify certain places in the headline and bury other places. Why?

Put them in a shipping container and drop it in the sea.

Hey how come no mention of where they are from. You always seem to put it in the headline when the accused are from certain cities. Never mention when they are from other places.

In some countries they'd lose their hands. That's a good deterrent, no?

There had been a massive spike of innocent people beaten or stabbed during a car theft. Hopefully this helps address some of that but I’m sure a lot more is needed.

Take them behind the shed …

Well maybe these are the guys stealing the rams from enterprise lol

Make an example out of them.

Habibi likes to steal expensive cars.

Hopefully get put away for good but we all know it will be for a few hours then back out. 🙄🙄

No crime is happening without them .

PortMTL has a long history in this Canadian industry.

Both running for mayor

Now tell your readers what happens to Canadians who are charged & convicted of auto theft. The BIG news story is how soft Canada is on criminals. And how the PortMTL Port of Montreal remains an easy toaccess port to ship out stolen vehicles. Why is this allowed to continue ?

Wheres picks of bro's who carjacked Marner

Let's make sure we hand them canadian citizenship before they get locked up!!!!!

Altayeb Brafcany, Imad Assi, Michael Zureiqat and Ref'At Faris Mustafa Khatabeh and anyone with even remotely similar names should be deported from Canada immediately. These people are total garbage.

Come to Canada for a better life of thievery and crime, and if caught Canada’s weak judicial system will have you back on the street before your falafel gets cold.

Thanks Pierre

Ya they don't look guilty much

And another surprise!

Time to build prisons specifically for those awaiting trial and stop letting them out on bail!

Thanks to Roxham road

🤗 To me both look like two honest business man, of course one is in desperate need of an hair cut, I assume he has been too busy to take time off...😂

Too bad we don't at least deport scum anymore. Liberals love criminals.

WTG Peel Popo!!

Immigrants. Shocker

Hmmmm, Albanian by any chance

It’s impossible that only 4 people are involved who facilitated the shipment at the port?

Nice job Trudeau

How many years in jail will they spend? I'm hoping at least 20.

How did they get into Canada? What’s their status? They obviously contribute nothing positive to the country. I’d also hope that those in the UAE are being investigated too.

Government can easy stop car thieves by giving them life in solitary confinement without parole. No one is going to waste their life over piece of metal.

Why they harnessing these fine gentlemen?

why are these ppl allowed in CAN in the first place? are there no background checks anymore?

did these people pay wealth tax on the vehicles stolen

Our judicial system is a joke, they’ll be stealing again in hours after release

wow

is the 10M after inflation?

Two of the four have been arrested before (google their names and you'll see it for yourself) repeat career criminals .

back out by the end of the week
