Today, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, released an update on the progress made under the National Action Plan on Combatting Auto Theft (Action Plan).

The National Action Plan on Combatting Auto Theft is supported by broader Government of Canada efforts to combat crime and strengthen community safety through stronger criminal laws, making critical investments in frontline enforcement and upstream prevention, and taking actions to disrupt organized crime.

Through measures outlined in the Action Plan and ongoing collaboration with partners across Canada, the Government of Canada continues to strengthen efforts to prevent vehicle theft, recover stolen vehicles, disrupt criminal networks and enhance community safety.

Our Action Plan continues to deliver results. Motor vehicle theft is declining across Canada, with police-reported incidents down 16% in 2024 and a further 16% in 2025. According to Équité Association's latest trend report, national auto thefts fell by 10% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

This latest update highlights key actions and outcomes undertaken by the Government of Canada alongside provincial and law enforcement partners from June 2025 to April 2026, including:

  • Increasing Canada’s capacity to detect stolen vehicles at railyards and ports, including through the deployment of a mobile X-ray scanner in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This vehicle detection technology is owned and operated by the RCMP, with support from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). So far in 2026, over 2,800 containers have been scanned using detection technology.
