Police have charged a 24-year-old Toronto man with 15 offences in connection with three separate car dealership break-ins in North York.
Toronto Police said that between Dec. 29 and Jan. 12, the suspect allegedly forced entry into dealerships in the Keele St.-Steeles Ave. area and once inside he’d take car keys, vehicles and licence plates.
On Thursday, Lajos Galamb was located and charged with three counts each of disguise with intent and failure to comply with a release order, two counts each of possession of break in instruments and break-and-enter a non-dwelling with intent to commit an indictable offence and one count each of theft under $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
In addition to the above charges, Galamb is also being charged with an additional 193 offences as a result of other break-and-enter investigations that took place elsewhere in the city since January 2024 as well as 195 break and enter-related charges in the Waterloo, Guelph, London, York, Peel, and Durham regions.
