All three vehicles were Toyota models—a 2022 Corolla, a 2024 Land Cruiser and a 2024 Tundra. Two vehicles were taken from neighbourhoods in Peterborough’s west end (Woodglade Blvd and Kawartha Heights Blvd; Sandalwood Drive and Fair Avenue) and the third was taken from a residence on Park Street South. 

In the case of the Land Cruiser and the Tundra, the sunroof feature was smashed, and personal items along with the vehicle’s GPS were found several kilometres from where the vehicle was taken. A black sedan is involved in both cases.

The Tundra was tracked and recovered and police in Quebec arrested an 18-year-old from Saint-Sophie, Que. 

The Land Cruiser was not recovered but was last seen heading toward Highway 7. 

The Corolla was last known to be travelling on the 115. 

In the video footage, a black sedan is seen near the Tundra truck at approximately 1:46 a.m. before driving away. Two minutes later, Sedan returns and two people get out of the vehicle. They can be seen moving around the vehicle before returning to the sedan and driving away. Four minutes later, they come back and one person is seen on the roof of the vehicle and another moving around on the ground before leaving the area again. Three minutes later, they return again where one person enters the truck, starts it and then both the truck and sedan leave the area.

Anyone with information is asked to call Peterborough Police at 705-876-1122 x555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
