A second suspect and a black Infiniti G25 remain outstanding. Toronto police have arrested a 29-year-old Oakville man in connection with the theft of catalytic converters from seven Second Harvest delivery trucks over the Thanksgiving weekend. Oakville Man Arrested For Second Harvest Truck TheftsThe arrest came Thursday morning after officers from 22 Division in Etobicoke executed a Criminal Code search warrant at a residence in Oakville. Acting Supt. Jeff Bangild identified the accused as Corey Peter Lane, an Oakville resident. Lane faces three counts each of break and enter commit a criminal offence, fail to comply with release order, and fail to comply with probation order.The charges have not been tested in court. Bangild said the accused was out on both bail and probation at the time of the alleged offences. Lane was scheduled to appear in bail court on Oct. 15. Police said tips from the public led them to the Oakville residence."We're looking for additional information as we believe other people may have seen this individual on their property," Bangild said. "They may have known who he's associated with and may have information that may facilitate further investigation. " Bangild added that evidence in relation to the offence is "in the process of being collected. " The acting superintendent said police believe the accused is responsible for the Second Harvest theft as well as two other incidents nearby.Police Link Multiple Break-Ins To Catalytic Converter Stolen Vehicles"The other two counts of break and enter are in relation to other properties within the south Toronto community, both of which are facilities that have vehicles of this similar nature in them, and catalytic converters were stolen off those vehicles as well," Bangild said. "So all three counts of the break and enter are in relation to the same modus operandi in which catalytic converters were stolen off vehicles." Police said the first incident happened on Sept. 13 just after 2 a.m. near North Queen Street and Kipling Avenue. Unknown suspects broke into a business in that area and allegedly damaged several vehicles while removing catalytic converters, then fled in a vehicle. On Oct. 11 at around 12:45 a.m., suspects broke into a business near The East Mall and North Queen Street.Again, several vehicles were damaged during the removal of catalytic converters, and the suspects fled in a vehicle. The Second Harvest theft happened just after 12 a.m. on Sunday, when suspects drove into a parking lot and entered the truck yard on foot. They allegedly cut through the exhaust systems of seven delivery trucks and stole the catalytic converters before fleeing in the same vehicle they arrived in.The theft took less than five minutes, CEO Lori Nikkel previously told CP24. Second Harvest is headquartered in Etobicoke at 120 The East Mall and is Canada's largest food rescue organization. The charity estimates the cost of repairs will be $80,000. Nikkel said they have auto insurance coverage, but the deductible for each truck is significant.Second Harvest Faces High Repair Costs And Insurance Premium HikesMaking a claim could impact premiums, she said, not to mention other costs for more security, vehicle rentals, and protective cages around the trucks' exhaust systems. The seven affected trucks could be out of service for two to three weeks, Nikkel said. They are currently at an auto repair shop still determining the extent of the damage. Earlier this week, Aurora Foods came forward with a $60,000 donation to help Second Harvest pay for repairs to the damaged vehicles.The Canadian food importing company also donated three skids of dry and canned goods and signed on as an ongoing donor. Bangild said a second suspect remains outstanding as well as a suspect vehicle, a black Infiniti G25 four-door sedan with black rims. The vehicle was not at the Oakville home when the search warrant was executed. Bangild said catalytic converters are "of high value within the black market" and are popular with thieves."They are resold for various reasons. The exact dollar value, I can't speak to myself, but I know that there are high value items," he said.Investigators Seek Outstanding Suspect And Recovered Catalytic Converters"That is, it's not the first time this is occurred in the city. " Bangild added that what happened at Second Harvest and the two other nearby locations was likely a "crime of opportunity. " None of the stolen catalytic converters have been recovered at this point, he noted. The investigation is ongoing, and investigators are attempting to locate additional suspects and identify other businesses that may have been victims of these thefts.Anyone with further information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-2200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
