Stolen Vehicles
Officers with the Peterborough Police Service are investigating after two thefts of Toyota vehicles were reported.
The vehicles were taken between 4:00am and 5:00am on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. One vehicle was taken from the driveway of a residence in the Cunningham Boulevard and Armour Road area and the second from the Clancy Crescent and Spillsbury Drive area. In both cases, broken glass was located in the driveways where the vehicles had been. Some of the items from the first theft were located in the Old Norwood Road and Naish Drive area.
In recent months, there have been multiple incidents, and the focus continues to be on Toyota vehicles, mainly trucks and larger SUVs.
In most cases there is often a suspect/lookout vehicle involved, and residents are asked to watch for unknown vehicles with people inside in the late evening/early morning hours parked on the street for periods of time.
The Peterborough Police Service is working with other police jurisdictions and is asking residents with these vehicles to be extra vigilant.
Consider taking the following precautions:
- parking another vehicle in front of the vehicle or in your garage, if possible, to make it difficult for thieves to drive off
- if your vehicle comes with a tracking system, please make sure it is installed and activated
- using a theft deterrent device
If you spot any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, please report it to Peterborough Police at 705-876-1122 x225 or 9-1-1 if it is an emergency or crime in progress. You can also reach out to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.stopcrimehere.ca
