Toronto police are offering up to $5,000 in rewards for tips that lead to arrests in auto theft cases, highlighting a significant rise in crime rates.
Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw noted that auto thefts are not merely property crimes; they affect community safety and security, which can have long-lasting effects.
In 2023, there were over 11,900 vehicles stolen in Toronto, with a 25% increase in incidents from 2022. The cash reward initiative aims to combat these trends.
The campaign launched by Toronto Police and Crime Stoppers aims to deter auto thieves by promoting anonymous reporting of crimes to enhance community involvement.
