What started as a stolen vehicle investigation in Georgetown led to the arrest of three Quebec men, including one wanted for murder.
While investigating the theft of a pickup truck in Halton Hills, members of the Halton police Auto Theft Task Force learned the suspects were staying at an Airbnb in Milton and using a rented Hyundai Elantra to allegedly steal vehicles in the area.
In the early hours of March 2, Halton officers located and arrested three suspects at a gas station in Mississauga.
At the time of the arrest police seized a loaded handgun, a large machete style knife, and tools used in the commission of reprogramming-style vehicle thefts.
An 18-year-old male of Quebec is facing numerous charges, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of break-in instruments, firearms offences, possession of stolen property and breaches of prohibition orders.
This suspect is also wanted for first degree murder in Quebec.
