The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is changing its approach to fighting auto theft by using data analytics on shipping container trends and patterns.

"The real key is using our intelligence... We want to find the needle in the haystack," Aaron McCrorie of the CBSA told Global News.

Carolyn Jarvis visited the Port of Montreal where thousands of stolen cars left the country last year, destined for overseas buyers – and where border officers and police are trying to stop them.

    Just leave your car keys at the front door step folks. Sincerely, your beloved Police service.

    How about using the guy who GPS tracked His right to the Container and Police Officer with Him Said He Would Do Nothing. .... Crime is Not Solved Via Computer Screen

    “Data Analytics,” eh? That way they can work from home and publish reports. No need to actually get out there and do any policing. Not their job to prevent crime or catch crooks. The judicial system will just let the criminals off, anyway. But next year there will be a massive increase in the police budget.

    The majority of stolen cars are being exported from Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. It is imperative that we halt the export of cars for a period of two years until a solution is found.
