A male and female are facing charges after fraudulently reporting a vehicle stolen in Pickering.

On Tuesday, August 20, 2024, members of West Division responded to a stolen vehicle call in the area of Fairport Road and Strouds Lane. A male and female reported their vehicle stolen after it had been parked overnight in the male�s driveway. The female was compensated by her insurance company after the vehicle could not be located.

After further investigation it was revealed that the vehicle, which was deemed inoperable, had been brought to a dealership by the female, in early August 2024. Despite numerous calls from the dealership to remove the vehicle, it was never retrieved, and in November 2024, was towed away from the dealership property.

On January 17, 2025, the male and female surrendered themselves to a DRPS Division where they were taken into custody without incident.
