2 men charged, others sought in theft of 8 luxury vehicles from Ontario dealership

A Mississauga man is one of two suspects charged in connection with a middle-of-the-night break-in and theft of eight luxury vehicles from a car leasing business in Oakville last week.

Halton Regional Police said on Monday the arrests were made last Wednesday, several days after “multiple masked individuals dressed in dark clothing” broke into Lockwood Leasing, at 1141 South Service Rd. W., at around 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 11 and made off with the vehicles.

While inside the dealership, the individuals “obtained keys to eight separate high-end vehicles” before fleeing the scene with one Ferrari, two Porsches, two BMWs and three Mercedes, police said in a news release. Police said last week the estimated value of the stolen vehicles was around $2 million.

Police noted the front window of the business was smashed while the building was unoccupied and suspects quickly accessed a lock box that contained car keys.

Investigators subsequently found four of the stolen vehicles — the Ferrari in addition to a BMW, a Mercedes and one of the Porsches — “abandoned and unoccupied” in the Greater Toronto Area.

On Jan. 12, Peel Regional Police located another of the stolen cars — this one a Porsche 911 — and arrested two men. They then contacted their Halton counterparts, who took the suspects into custody two days later.

Amin Hadj Kaddour, 24, of Mississauga, and Joshua Twa’colagiacomo, 24, of Victoria Harbour, ON (east of Midland), are each charged with break-and-enter and disguise with intent.

They were held in custody before being released on bail, police said.

Both accused are also facing additional criminal charges with Peel police as a result of their arrests in that jurisdiction.

Investigators said they’re continuing to search for the outstanding stolen vehicles and additional suspects.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to call police at 905-825-4777, ext. 2216, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
