Investigators with the York Regional Police #5 District Criminal Investigations Bureau are releasing images of recovered stolen property as a result of an investigation into a series of residential break and enters across York Region.
The investigation began in October 2025 after officers responded to a break and enter in the City of Vaughan. Four suspects, operating a white Toyota RAV4 sport utility vehicle, were identified.
As the investigation continued, the same vehicle and suspects were identified in numerous other residential break-and-enters across the cities of Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill.
On Friday, January 23, 2026, police arrested four individuals.
Numerous items have been recovered. A Dropbox folder has been set up with photos of the items that have not yet been returned to their owners. We are asking anyone who was a victim of a residential break and enter between October 2025 to January 2026 to please review the photos and contact police if any of the items belong to you.
There will be a process to verify ownership before collecting any property.
