Multiple Vehicles Stolen from a Local Dealership
On August 11, 2025, at approximately 2:00 am, Brockville Police responded to an alarm activation at Matt’s Auto Service on William Street. The alarm system reported multiple motion sensor triggers at the location.
Upon arrival, officers observed a suspect vehicle fleeing the scene. The vehicle, described as a light blue Audi, was last seen heading eastbound on Eleanor Street. Officers attempted to follow but temporarily lost sight of the vehicle. It was later determined that the Audi was registered to an individual from Etobicoke, Ontario.
Shortly thereafter, the vehicle was located after it had left the roadway at the east end of Eleanor Street, continued north through a field, and came to a stop in a creek. The suspect(s) fled the scene on foot before officers arrived. This vehicle is suspected to be connected to other criminal activity in nearby jurisdictions, which is currently under investigation.
During the same time frame, it was discovered that two additional vehicles had been stolen from Matt’s Auto. The suspects had broken into the building to access keys and fled northbound on William Street in the stolen vehicles. One of these vehicles was later recovered near Stewart Boulevard and Centennial Road after it collided with a road sign. The suspect fled the scene prior to police arrival.
At this time, the investigation remains ongoing. Officers have recovered the original suspect vehicle (Audi) and one of the stolen vehicles (a Nissan). One vehicle remains outstanding: a 2012 grey Buick Regal.
Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact Detective Knezevic at the Brockville Police Service at 613-342-0127, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Break and Enter at a Local Gas Bar
On August 10, 2025, at about 1:30am, police received a 911 call regarding suspects breaking into R&P Petroleum at 690 Stewart Boulevard.
Officers attended quickly to the scene and found that the suspects had left just prior to their arrival. Investigation revealed that the building had been entered and multiple food and beverage items were stolen. A full inventory of items is still being composed.
Video surveillance revealed that the two suspects had pulled up to the front of the store in a black 2021, Honda Pilot, that was reported stolen out of New Brunswick. The suspects covered their faces with masks and then exited the vehicle to make entry into the building. One suspect attempted to block the camera by discharging a fire extinguisher while the second suspect made entry. Within only a few minutes, the suspects exited the store activating the alarm and fleeing the scene.
Multiple items were seized for forensic identification purposes and the investigation is continuing. If anyone has any information they wish to provide, they can do so by contacting the Brockville Police Service at 613-342-0127, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
