More dealerships in Halton agree to install tracking devices to curb vehicle thefts.
Halton police's Project Oxygen began in May and encouraged residents to place third-party trackers (such as an Apple Air Tag, Tile, Galaxy Smart Tag or Atuvos) inside their vehicles. This program initially started with the participation of six dealerships in Oakville.
The HRPS has now confirmed the participation of 11 dealerships in Halton and seven in Oakville.
How to participate:
- Vehicle owners must purchase a third-party tracking device and download the appropriate app.
- Book a time with a dealership, provide the pre-purchase tracker, and they will securely and discretely install the tracking device.
The dealerships do not track a vehicle: that information is only available to the owner. At Lexus of Oakville, the cost to install a device is $89.95. Installation costs may vary depending on the vehicle and dealership.
The dealerships that started the program in May were:
