TORONTO — Auto thefts were down 17 per cent during the first six months of 2024 compared with the same period last year, an insurance fraud prevention group said in its report.

Équité Association said the drop can be attributed to multiple factors including increased border patrol and police collaboration, government action and better public awareness.

In Ontario, auto theft decreased by 14 per cent while Quebec saw a 36 per cent decline in stolen vehicles, according to the report released Tuesday. The federal government estimates 90,000 cars are stolen each year in Canada and many of the thefts involve connections to organized crime. "It's a complex problem with a complex solution. There's no one silver bullet," he said."Everything's got to come together, right from making the vehicle harder to steal in the first place to helping Canadians — making them aware of some of the precautions."
