Halton police charge father and son in connection with stolen vehicles in Milton

Halton police have charged a father and son following an investigation in Milton involving stolen vehicles that had their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) changed.

Officers say they began the investigation in November into two vehicles they believed were re-VINed after noticing identification inconsistencies with their Ministry of Transportation documents.

Investigators say fraudulent bills of sale and letters of employment were used to register the vehicles to an unsuspecting local company.

Detectives seized a 2023 Ford F-150, stolen out of Mississauga, and a 2021 Dodge Charger, which was stolen out of Windsor — both of which had altered VINs.

Police charged 55-year-old Amer Kunda of Orangeville on Feb. 4, with offences including uttering forged documents, disobeying a court order, and for possessing property obtained by crime – with obliterated VIN.

Officers charged 28-year-old Sameil Kunda of Milton a month later, with offences including uttering forged documents, and driving while under suspension.

Both have been released from custody pending a future court date.

Investigators believe there may be additional offences and released their photos, and ask anyone with information to contact police at 905-825-4777 ext. 2416.
