Montreal Police Dismantle Stolen Vehicle Export Ring: Four Arrested, Ten Vehicles Seized in Coordinated Bust

Montreal police have successfully dismantled a major stolen vehicle export ring, arresting four men and seizing ten vehicles along with other equipment in a large-scale operation. The raids targeted locations in Repentigny, Saint-Jean-de-Matha, and Montreal neighborhoods, including Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles and Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension. Two forty-nine-year-olds, Éric Quenneville and Yves Desjardins, face charges for possessing and trafficking stolen property, while the other two, aged fifty and fifty-five, were released with court dates set.

The investigation began in January, focusing on crews stealing high-end pickup trucks and SUVs. The thieves would allow the vehicles to sit for a few hours to disable any tracking devices before loading them into shipping containers, sometimes even swapping vehicle identification numbers to evade customs.

The operation involved collaboration with the Sûreté du Québec, Repentigny police, Canada Border Services, and the Équité Association to ensure its success. Police aim to send a clear message that they will continue to stay one step ahead of these networks, blocking every export lane they attempt.
