Six teenagers from Vaughan, Markham, Scarborough and more have been arrested in connection to robberies located here in Oakville.
Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) say they have made six arrests and laid multiple charges after an investigation into a stolen vehicle.
On February 7, 2025, at approximately 3:15 am police were called to an Oakville residence in the area of Dundas Street and Sixth Line after an alert resident noticed thieves attempting to steal the license plate attached to the vehicle in their driveway.
The resident switched on the lights to the home prompting the thieves to flee.
