3 suspects arrested after over 2,500 allegedly stolen items recovered in Toronto
Police say the recovered property, worth up to $1.5 million, included jewelry, cash and watches as investigators pursued 21 break-ins.
- On Thursday, Toronto Police Service announced the recovery of over 2,500 stolen items worth up to $1.5 million and arrested three suspects in Project Compass, a targeted investigation into residential break-and-enter thefts.
- Project Compass began in Sept 2025 when the Major Crime Unit targeted condo units across the Greater Toronto Area, identifying 21 break-and-enter incidents dating back to May 2025.
- Investigators allege suspects disguised themselves as construction workers to target homes, then trafficked stolen goods through a pawn shop near Queen and Church to convert items into cash.
- The three suspects face 150 charges including conspiracy and disguise with intent, Insp. Joseph Matys said, though no one associated with the pawn shop has been charged yet.
- Police launched a website where victims can view recovered property and submit ownership claims, while investigators anticipate the pawn shop owner may face charges in the near future.
