Police say the operation targeted a coordinated crime group responsible for multiple vehicle thefts across the region.<\/p>\n<p>Among those arrested were Sulman Dar, 28, and Shahroz Dar, 24, both of Mississauga. Investigators say both men were already bound by court-imposed release orders related to robbery and property offences at the time of their arrests.<\/p>\n<p>Sulman Dar faces 47 charges, including 24 counts of possession of property obtained by crime and 23 counts of failing to comply with a release order. <\/p>\n<p>Shahroz Dar is charged with seven offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime, and failing to comply with a release order. Both were held pending bail hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Police say the takedown is part of a broader crackdown on auto theft, which has led to a nearly 15 per cent decrease in stolen vehicles across Peel Region so far in 2026 compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAuto theft remains a priority for Peel Regional Police,\u201d said Deputy Chief Marc Andrews in a statement. \u201cOrganized crime groups that target our communities for profit will be identified, disrupted, and dismantled. We will continue to hold those responsible fully accountable for their criminal actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information is asked to contact PRP or submit tips anonymously through Peel Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peel Regional Police (PRP) have arrested two brothers from Mississauga in connection with an organized auto theft ring,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":527130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-527527","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/527130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
