Stolen Vehicle Recovered – 2 Arrested Following Foot Chase

The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has arrested two suspects in relation to an auto theft investigation.

On January 5, 2025, at approximately 4:00 am the HRPS received information from the O.P.P. regarding a stolen black Dodge Charger operating in tandem with two Jeep Grand Cherokees. A short time later, HRPS officers located the Charger and a single white Jeep Grand Cherokee travelling in tandem eastbound in the westbound lanes on Dundas Street near Ninth Line in Oakville.

Police followed the vehicles eastbound on Dundas and coordinated the successful deployment of a tire deflation device, taking out the front tires of the Jeep. The vehicle continued to flee but was eventually pinned by HRPS officers near Jaguar Valley Drive in Mississauga. The two occupants of the Jeep then fled their vehicle on foot. After a brief foot pursuit, officers managed to arrest both occupants of the white Jeep. Investigation by police determined the Jeep to be stolen out of Peel region.

Mark Llewelyn (22) of Toronto has been charged with the following:

  • Possession of Property Obtained by Crime over $5000
  • Possession of Automobile Master Key
  • Fail to Comply being on a Release Order

Officers also determined Llewelyn was released on bail for similar offences in York Region on January 1, 2025. Llewelyn was held in custody pending another bail hearing in court in Milton.

Kenzani Edwards (21) of Toronto has been charged with the following:

  • Possession of Property Obtained by Crime over $5000
  • Dangerous Operation of Motor Vehicle
  • Flight from Police Officer

“Time and time again our officers, and the public we serve face the dangers of stolen autos and the criminals behind the wheel who will stop at nothing as they attempt to evade police,” said HRPS Chief, Stephen Tanner. “Again, in this case it involved the arrest of an individual released on bail four days earlier for similar offences. There needs to be meaningful deterrents to these highly profitable and extremely dangerous crimes. As long as the gains outweigh the risks, and organized groups continue to profit from this lucrative crime by shipping stolen vehicles out of the country through our large shipping ports, we should not expect it to stop. Steal a car, through a home invasion or otherwise, get arrested, get released, and repeat the cycle again. This is not simply a property crime with huge economic impacts on victims and on all Canadians. Every single stolen vehicle is a potentially deadly situation for front line officers and for our citizens. It’s far past the time to cut off the ability to export stolen vehicles, and to hold these criminals accountable in meaningful ways.”

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the 2 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777 ext. 2216.

Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers. “See something? Hear something? Know something? Contact Crime Stoppers” at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or through the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.ca.
