安省政府投入$5100万严厉打击汽车盗窃

近几年，汽车盗窃事件越发的频繁。安省平均每48分钟就有一辆汽车被偷，特别是多伦多地区在过去7年间汽车盗窃案增长了近81%。

汽车盗窃不是简单地财产类犯罪，更是严重威胁到社区安全的暴力犯罪! 因此，我们政府将在打击汽车盗窃犯罪上投入$5100万元来协助警察侦破这些犯罪团伙并将其绳之以法。

安省律政厅长Doug Downey表示：“这项投资将帮助建立一个专门的汽车盗窃起诉团队并加强法院资源的供应，从而做到对犯罪组织的调查与指控，让正义得到伸张。”

首先，这项投资帮助建立协助安省警察侦办的团队。第一个是由安省省警(OPP)管理的 “有组织犯罪拖车和汽车盗窃小组” ，该小组主要负责与警察共同侦破、瓦解与捣毁有组织的汽车盗窃犯罪团伙。第二个是 “重大汽车盗窃案起诉反应小组” ，该小组主要为安省省警（OPP）提供法律与检察方面的援助支持。

其次，这项投资也会为安省省警以及市政警察提供资金支持。这些资金不仅会用于公众教育宣传工作，同时也会为警方提供监控与识别被偷车辆的技术工具与资源。

此外在未来三年，我们政府也会在打击被盗车辆的非法出口及相关犯罪组织上投入$140万元。同时为降低枪支及帮派暴力犯罪率，我们政府在今年将额外投入$1340万。

Ontario government Cracking Down on Auto Theft!

The vehicle thefts and car jackings are on the rise in recent year. A car is stolen every 48 minutes in Ontario. In Toronto, auto thefts increased 81 per cent from 2014 to 2021.Car theft is not just a property crime, it's also a violent crime that puts our communities at risk. 

So, our government is fighting auto theft by investing $51 million in new measures to help police identify and dismantle organized crime networks and put thieves behind bars. 

Attorney General Doug Downey said, “today’s investments will support the creation of dedicated auto theft prosecution teams and enhanced court resources to investigate and prosecute criminal organizations, and ensure justice is served.”

This investment will help create Organized Crime Towing and Auto Theft Team led by the OPP and Major Auto Theft Prosecution Response Team. The first team mainly responsible to identify, disrupt, and dismantle organized crime networks participating in vehicle theft. The second team mainly responsible to provide legal and prosecutorial support to the OPP such as court support staff and resources. 

This investment also includes a new community safety grant to support OPP, municipal police services. This grant will be used for public education and awareness campaigns or technology to assist police with surveillance and identification of stolen vehicles.

Additionally, our government on one hand is investing $1.4 million over three years to help stop the illegal export of stolen vehicles and target violent crime linked to criminal organizations. On the other hand, we will continue to target organized crime that fuels gang operations, such as vehicle theft rings, through a further $13.4 million investment this year to reduce guns and gangs’ violence.
