One Arrested, One Wanted in City Facility Break-In

Hamilton Police say one man has been arrested and a second is wanted after an investigation into a break-in at a City of Hamilton facility in central Hamilton that led to the theft of two City vehicles. Police say two individuals entered the facility on July 22, 2026, at about 12:24 a.m., stole several sets of keys for City fleet vehicles and left in a stolen City vehicle. Investigators later connected the incident to a vehicle stopped by police in another jurisdiction for stunt driving, and a second stolen City vehicle was recovered during an unrelated investigation. Police say the arrested man was taken into custody in Toronto while trying to board a flight leaving the country, while the second man remains wanted.
