According to a news release, in July 2023, the 36-year-old suspect was among 23 individuals arrested in connection to a multi-million-dollar auto theft ring operating in Windsor and Ontario.
The operation, dubbed Project Fairfield, seized 138 stolen vehicles, around $170,000 in Canadian and U.S. money and illicit drugs, worth more than $500,000.
