Hardly a week went by last year in which we didn’t hear about a collection of Mustangs or Ford F-150 Raptors being stolen from Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly plant in Michigan. North of the border, Canadian car thieves wanted to prove they could get in on the action, though the target of their heist was considerably less exciting and valuable.
Instead of a high-power pony car or a dune-raiding pickup, the thieves targeting Ford’s plant in Oakville, Ontario, made off with… Ford Edges. Maybe they were the ST model. Although that’s a pretty dull vehicle, the police say they managed to make off with 14 of them, giving their haul a total estimated value of CA$630,000 (around US$465,800 at current exchange rates). Not bad for a night’s work.
The Halton Regional Police Service (which, unfortunately for them, is shortened to HRPS) reports that the theft occurred on the night of January 7-8, and that the thieves managed their mischief thanks to the advanced technique of cutting a large hole in the fence of Ford’s vehicle lot.

The crime appears to have been brilliant in its simplicity, because the HRPS says it has yet to arrest anybody in connection with the actual break-in. However, it has made several arrests of people in possession of the vehicles.

Authorities reported that on January 9, they arrested Tom Thibault-Levesque (35) and Barbara Veronica Rachwal (46) in Mississauga. The following day, two more individuals were arrested in nearby Scarborough: James Park (34) and Kamorey Mitchell (33). All four individuals are facing charges of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
However, the HRPS says that its investigation is ongoing, and that other arrests have been made by neighboring police departments, despite it not having identified suspects for the initial theft.
