<\/p>\nRegion of Peel \u2013 Investigators with the 11 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) have arrested and charged a man following an extensive investigation into 71 vehicle break-ins across Mississauga.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The incidents occurred during the early morning hours of Sept. 3 and Sept. 6, and targeted neighbourhoods throughout Mississauga. During these occurrences, investigators allege the suspect unlawfully entered vehicles, either by smashing windows or taking advantage of unlocked doors and stole valuables.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While no vehicles were stolen and all vehicles were unoccupied at the time, the incidents resulted in significant property damage and financial losses for residents.<\/p>\n

Investigators continue to work closely with policing partners across the Greater Toronto Area to determine the full scope of the accused’s alleged activities.<\/p>\n
