Between Sept. 17 and Sept. 23, Halton police re- ceived 10 reports of newer- model Lexus and Toyota SUVs being stolen during overnight hours from resi- dential driveways in north Oakville. Police said in a news re- lease they initiated an ac- tion plan, which included crime prevention messag- ing for the public, increased patrols, "exhaustive can- vassing" and collaboration with other jurisdictions in an effort to identify and ap- prehend the people respon- sible.

During this time, patrol officers stopped a vehicle near the intersection of Pos- tridge Drive and Dundas Street. While speaking with the occupants of the vehicle, the officers formed reasonable grounds to arrest all four in- dividuals for possession of break and enter tools.
