Police say the arrests are connected to an investigation in December 2024, during which police raided properties in l’Épiphanie, Que.
Officers seized more than $1 million in vehicles that they said had been stolen in the greater Montreal area, including SUVs, a tractor, snowmobiles and trailers.
Police say another search on Sept. 25 uncovered more evidence, bringing the total value of the recovered vehicles to $1.8 million.
Arrest warrants suggest the suspects are facing multiple charges, including possession of property obtained by crime.
