Five people from Quebec are facing more than 100 charges after allegedly stealing several vehicles in the Greater Toronto Area.
The investigation into the organized auto theft trafficking group, dubbed Project Egypt, launched in June 2025.
Months later, on Sept. 17, investigators executed a search warrant at a home in Mississauga. Police say they seized “offence related property” inside of the home and arrested five suspects as a result.
Authorities say they recovered eight stolen vehicles during their investigation.
“One previous search warrant in Quebec resulted in the identification of approximately 25 stolen vehicles that were re-vinned,” Durham Regional Police said in a news release.
While all five suspects live in Quebec, Durham Regional Police say they travelled to the Greater Toronto Area, where they allegedly stole vehicles.
Police did not say how many vehicles have been reportedly stolen in total.
The five suspects—Dylan Chimusoro, 19, Kyle Cain, 22, Jean-Junior Goureille, 24, Joshua Jean-Louis, 24, and Shainna Faustin, 32—face a combined 112 charges, including theft of a motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime for the purpose of trafficking exceeding $5,000.
Faustin and Goureille are also facing charges for failure to comply with probation order.
The charges have not been tested in court.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
