It’s a destination police didn’t expect: thousands of vehicles stolen from Canadian driveways are being tracked halfway across the world to Russia. New data from Interpol, first reported by the New York Times, reveals that nearly 5,000 stolen Canadian cars were located in Russia between early 2024 and mid-2026. Even more concerning, Moscow is reportedly taking official steps to allow these stolen vehicles to be legally registered, creating a “safe haven” for international car theft rings. Jane Bradley, a reporter for the New York Times, dives into how these cars are being transported and what this means for the future of auto-theft prevention in Canada.
