Investigators with the York Regional Police Integrated Property Crime Task Force (IPCTF) have charged 20 individuals with more than 230 criminal offences after a four-month investigation, dubbed Project DUSK, focused on residential break-and-enters committed by organized crime groups across York Region.
This is the second year that Project Dusk has been implemented, addressing residential break-and-enters that occur from the fall into winter. Between October 2024 and January 2025, IPCTF investigators dismantled six separate crime groups responsible for break-and-enters across York Region and the Greater Toronto Area.
Police have currently laid 235 charges related to 47 residential break and enters in which more than $2 million dollars of valuables was recovered.
A warrant had been issued for one additional suspect who has fled Canada.
Investigators have linked recovered property to multiple break-and-enters and many items have already been returned to their proper owners. Unfortunately, not all of the property has been claimed and officers continue to look for the rightful owners in order to return their items.
Three Dropbox albums have been set up with photos of recovered items. We are asking anyone who was a victim of a residential break and enter from September 2024, until January 2025 to review the photos and contact police if any of the items are yours. There will be a process to verify ownership before collecting any property.
Images of the stolen property recovered as part of Project Dusk can be found below.
