Mississauga man accused of 31 break‑ins arrested on VIA Rail train after $200K crime spree

A Mississauga man is facing dozens of charges after Peel Regional Police (PRP) linked him to a months‑long string of commercial break‑and‑enters that targeted businesses across the region and resulted in roughly $200,000 in stolen computer equipment.

Investigators with the Break and Enter Auto Response (BEAR) Unit say the offences occurred between September 2025 and February 2026, when a pattern of overnight break‑ins began emerging at businesses in Mississauga, Brampton and surrounding areas.

In one particular instance, police allege the suspect broke into a Mississauga business and stole 15 laptops valued at $35,000. As the investigation expanded, officers coordinated with the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS), which reported comparable incidents in their jurisdictions.

On March 24, PRP investigators received assistance from multiple police services — including Kingston Police, Ottawa Police, Cornwall Community Police, and VIA Rail security — after learning the suspect was travelling eastbound by train.

Officers boarded the train and arrested Kenneth Levy, a 39‑year‑old man from Mississauga, who police allege is responsible for 31 break‑and‑enter offences in Peel Region alone.

Levy has been charged with 62 criminal offences, including 27 counts of break and enter and commit an indictable offence and 27 counts of disguise with intent.

Police say he was held in custody pending a bail hearing and is expected to face additional charges from investigators in Toronto and Halton as their linked cases proceed.
