48 stolen vehicles recovered as part of undercover bust: Toronto police

Toronto police say 48 stolen vehicles have been seized as part of an undercover investigation.

Police say 20 of the vehicles were seized at a shipper location in Burlington, Ont., while another 20 were intercepted with the help of border agents in Toronto and Montreal.
