This is the best summary I could come up with:
"Project Vector disrupted criminal networks that profit from the Canadian export market to sell stolen vehicles," Marty Kearns, the deputy commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said at a press conference in Montreal.
Police hailed the project as an important step in their fight against organized criminal networks which they say are behind a recent surge in car thefts in Eastern Canada.
Kearns said the vehicles, valued at $34.5 million, were to be sold on foreign markets around the world, in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and in South America.
Mark Hemmerick, an OPP inspector involved in the project, said many of the seized vehicles were connected to violent crimes.
"One of these vehicles that was recovered was connected to a carjacking using a firearm and another one was stolen and used for a home invasion in a residence a few hours later," he said, adding stories like those are "concerning for everyone."
In January, police forces in Ontario received $121 million from the federal government, in hopes of targeting the rise of stolen vehicles and carjackings in the GTA.
