Police have found more than $150,000 worth of stolen high-end vehicles set to be shipped overseas hidden inside a Caledon shipping yard.

The Caledon OPP say investigators were alerted to a stolen vehicle tracked to a shipping yard in the community of Bolton on Thursday (Aug. 18).

An investigation led officers to a specific shipping container where a 2021 Ranger Rover HSE valued at approximately $115,000 and a 2020 Lexus RX350 valued at approximately $50,000 were recovered, according to police.

Police say the vehicles had been reported stolen – one to Toronto Police Service and the other to Peel Regional Police – and the shipping container was scheduled to be shipped overseas.

The incident is the second time high-end vehicles have been found at the same address in Bolton in recent months, a police spokesperson confirmed to inSauga.com.

Back in June, police were called to a shipping yard on Coleraine Dr. in Bolton to recover a stolen vehicle and reportedly found three luxury vehicles stashed inside a shipping container.

A 2020 Land Rover Range Rover SVR, 2020 Lexus NX and a 2019 Maserati Levante 61G were recovered in that investigation, all of which were reported stolen from the Toronto area, according to police.

Anyone with information related to either investigation is asked to contact police by calling 905-584-2241.
