Peel Regional Police have arrested and charged a 34-year-old man, Cory Lowden, in connection with 71 vehicle break-ins across Mississauga. The break-ins occurred during early morning hours on September 3 and September 6, targeting multiple neighbourhoods throughout the city. The suspect allegedly broke into vehicles by smashing windows or using unlocked doors, stealing valuables and leaving significant property damage.
However, no vehicles were stolen and all were unoccupied at the time. Lowden faces multiple charges, including 46 counts of attempt to commit an indictable offence, 16 counts of theft under $5,000, 15 counts of mischief over, and one count of theft over $5,000. He is also wanted on two outstanding warrants related to separate fraud investigations.
Detectives have identified potential connections between the Mississauga break-ins and similar vehicle-related crimes in Halton Region, Toronto, York Region, and Waterloo Region. They are collaborating with policing partners across the Greater Toronto Area to determine if Lowden may be linked to additional incidents.
