Police are seeking the public\u2019s help in tracking down a Mississauga man who\u2019s wanted in connection with 27 break-and-enters in which $150,000 in property was stolen.<\/p>\n

Investigators with the Peel Regional Police 11 Division Break-and-Enter and Auto Response (BEAR) unit say Kenneth Levy, 39, is being sought on a total of 54 charges in relation to the break-in spree.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s wanted on 27 charges of break-and-enter and commit indictable offences and another 27 charges of disguise with intent, police said in a news release on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Peel police BEAR squad is a new crime-fighting team<\/a> formed to reduce break-ins and car thefts in Mississauga and Brampton. Launched last Sept. 1, it utilizes a specialized unit of plainclothes officers that targets \u201corganized break-and-enter and auto-related crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The squad is part of a pilot project designed to \u201cenhance enforcement, strengthen victim support and proactively disrupt criminal networks affecting communities across Peel,\u201d Peel police said in late December.<\/p>\n

The BEAR unit was established \u201cafter a growing trend of calculated and coordinated crimes was identified in Peel, including break-and-enters and auto theft,\u201d police noted earlier.<\/p>\n

In the first three months of the pilot, the BEAR unit made \u201csignificant arrests, recovered many vehicles and laid over 160 charges, disrupting organized property crime\u201d in Mississauga and Brampton, police added.<\/p>\n

As of the end of December, the new squad had arrested 21 suspects, laid 165 charges and recovered 80 stolen vehicles.<\/p>\n
