3 charged after more than $1M in goods stolen from Toronto condos

Three individuals are facing 150 charges after over $1 million worth of goods were stolen from condominiums in Toronto and York Region, according to Toronto police. The investigation, dubbed Project Compass, began in September 2025 after 14 Division's Major Crime Unit started looking into break-ins at condominium units. Suspects allegedly disguised themselves as construction workers to enter apartments and condos, targeting high-value items like jewelry, precious metals, currency, and family heirlooms.

Police have linked 21 break-ins in Toronto and eight to ten in another jurisdiction, dating back to May 2025. A pawn shop near Queen and Church streets is under investigation for allegedly acting as a conduit for the stolen goods. No one associated with the pawn shop has been charged yet, but authorities anticipate charges may be forthcoming.

Police are now seeking the owners of the recovered items and believe there may be more victims, indicating additional charges could be laid as the investigation continues.
