Man arrested, warrant issued after vehicle thefts from Mississauga underground parking lots

Peel police have arrested one man and issued a warrant for another following an investigation into multiple vehicle thefts from underground parking garages in Mississauga.

The investigation began in May 2026 after police identified vehicle thefts and attempted thefts in the Hurontario Street and Burnamthorpe Road East area. Using video surveillance analysis, automated licence plate recognition, body-worn camera footage, and community outreach, police identified two suspects. Two search warrants were executed at homes in Mississauga and Erin, yielding several cell phones, key fobs, key programming devices, vehicle-related documents, and approximately $1,465 in cash believed to be proceeds of crime.

Darren Prince, 21, of Mississauga was arrested and faces seven counts of theft of a motor vehicle, five counts of mischief over $5,000, theft over $5,000, and breach of release order. He was held for a bail hearing in Brampton. A warrant has been issued for Gurjeet Singh Virk, 23, described as South Asian, five foot 10 inches, with a medium build, short curly black hair, and brown eyes. Police urge him to turn himself in. The investigation is ongoing.
