Toronto Police recover 2,500 stolen items worth $1.5M, launching public claim process

Toronto police have published an online database of more than 2,500 stolen items recovered through Project Compass, a targeted investigation into sophisticated residential break-ins that began in September 2025.

Three suspects face 150 charges combined after officers executed search warrants at three homes and two vehicles in late March. Police say the investigation uncovered 21 break-and-enter thefts across the Greater Toronto Area targeting condo units believed to contain significant quantities of cash, gold, jewelry, coins and other high-value property.

The total value of recovered items stands at up to $1.5 million. During the investigation, police identified a secondary criminal operation: a pawn shop in the area of Queen and Church streets where the accused allegedly converted stolen goods into cash. A search warrant at that location yielded the bulk of the recovered property.

Residents who were victims of residential break-ins are asked to review the online database of recovered belongings and file a claim if they identify their possessions. Once a claim is submitted, an investigator will contact the claimant to verify ownership and obtain additional information.

Police have not released the names of the three suspects as the matter remains before the courts.
