Nearly 400 vehicles worth $28M recovered in RCMP anti-fraud pilot program, police say
Project NoCargo helped police stop vehicles bought with stolen credentials from being exported, and CBSA intercepted 1,590 stolen vehicles last year.
- The RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency recovered 392 vehicles valued at $28 million at marine ports in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver as part of Project NoCargo, a one-year anti-fraud pilot targeting fraudulently obtained exports.
- INTERPOL Ottawa detected a trend of transnational organized crime exporting fraudulently obtained vehicles in 2025, prompting the RCMP's Federal Policing Criminal Operations program to launch Project NoCargo to investigate and prevent suspicious exports.
- The Canada Border Services Agency referred potential financial-fraud risks to the RCMP, which intercepted the vehicles "before they could be exported out of the country" after criminal activity was confirmed.
- RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme stated the initiative helps stop the flow of vehicles obtained through fraud, providing law enforcement with critical information to "ultimately disrupt criminal organizations" engaged in financial crime.
- Last year, the Canada Border Services Agency intercepted 1,590 stolen vehicles in ports and rail yards across Canada, underscoring that Project NoCargo's 392 recoveries represent a fraction of broader efforts to secure export infrastructure.
