The suspect, Milton Hylton, who reportedly owns and operates an unlicensed car dealership and brokerage, was arrested by officers, Peel Regional Police announced on Friday.
According to investigators, the 24-year-old took advantage of “loopholes” in the ServiceOntario procedures that allow authorized individuals to carry out third-party transactions involving motor vehicles.
In a statement released by Peel Regional Police, officials revealed that the suspect had registered numerous stolen vehicles that had undergone re-VINing as part of the scam.
“Several of the vehicles registered by (the suspect) as a third party have been identified as re-vin vehicles,” the statement reads. “‘Re-vinning’ is the alteration of a Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.) of a stolen vehicle, replacing it with a V.I.N. from another vehicle to pass as legitimate.”

While some of the vehicles involved in the scheme have been located and confirmed to be stolen, a significant number of stolen vehicles remain on the road, posing a risk to the public.
Investigators anticipate that additional arrests will be made in connection with the case, as they believe that members of the suspect’s family and other individuals are also involved in the criminal operation.
Peel Regional Police are urging anyone who has purchased or engaged in business transactions with Hylton or his company, Royalty in The Building, to contact the Commercial Auto Crime Bureau at 905-453-3311 extension 3313 or via email at autocrime@peelpolice.ca.
Authorities are committed to dismantling this illicit operation and bringing all involved parties to justice to ensure the safety and security of the community.
