One of two luxury SUVs stolen this week from the driveways of Guelph homes has been recovered by police in Mississauga.<\/p>\n
The other vehicle, meanwhile, is still missing as Guelph Police auto theft investigators try to determine if the two crimes are related.<\/p>\n
In both cases, 2025 Lincoln Navigators were targeted by thieves in the city\u2019s south end, police said in a news release on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Shortly after 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning, a resident in the area of Downey Road and Ptarmigan Drive reported to police that his white 2025 Lincoln Navigator had been stolen overnight.<\/p>\n
The vehicle\u2019s tracking system showed an address in Mississauga, where officers later recovered the vehicle, police said.<\/p>\n
Investigators didn\u2019t say where, specifically, that SUV was found nor did they say if an arrest was made or a suspect or suspects identified.<\/p>\n
Around 24 hours later, on Thursday morning, a resident who lives near Goodwin Drive and Dominion Drive in Guelph\u2019s sound end reported that his black 2025 Lincoln Navigator had been stolen from the driveway of his home.<\/p>\n
That vehicle has yet to be recovered.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not known if the two thefts are related,\u201d police said Thursday, adding the investigation is ongoing in efforts to determine if there are any links between the two incidents.<\/p>\n
