Neighbour Foils Car Dealership Break-In
9 Oct
Summary
- Observant neighbour thwarted car dealership break-in attempt.
- Suspects attempted to cut gate lock with a grinder.
- Dealership previously targeted by a $250,000 arson in 2025.
An attempted car dealership break-in in Kitchener, Ontario, was stopped thanks to an alert neighbour on September 27, shortly before midnight. Two suspects were observed near Weber Street West and Louisa Street, with one using a grinder on a gate lock.
Adnan Khan, a co-owner of Extreme Motors Ltd., was informed by a tenant of his nearby properties. The tenant had yelled at the suspects, contacted the police, and alerted an employee who lives on another property.
By the time police arrived, the suspects had fled, and the lock was found cut. Police confirmed they responded to the call, but the suspects were gone. This incident follows a previous arson attack in September 2025.
In that 2025 event, six vehicles were set ablaze, resulting in an estimated $250,000 in damages. The arson significantly increased the dealership's insurance premiums. Khan expressed sadness over the ongoing crime in the area.
