Article content
Edmonton police have arrested and charged three people from Montreal in connection to more than 20 high-end vehicles that were stolen this year.
On April 16, the EPS Targeted Response to Auto-theft Prevention (TRAP) teams acted after a stolen Lexus was moved to a west end storage unit, said police in a Tuesday news release.
Police said the high-end vehicles being reported stolen are Lexus and Toyota trucks and SUVs. So far, TRAP has recovered five of the stolen vehicles, and investigators believe the suspects were using sophisticated electronic equipment to commit the thefts and then shipping the stolen vehicles overseas for money.
