Four of the accused were arrested Wednesday at a Mississauga business during the execution of a search warrant. Five were arrested at the hotel.
A pair of stolen Lexus SUVs taken from the Oakville area, blank key fobs, master keys, break and enter tools, close to $10,000 in cash and an auto basic key programmer were some of the items confiscated at both the hotel and the business.
In order to protect the identity of the youth offenders, none are being publicly identified in the investigation.
