The St. Thomas Police Service is asking for the public’s help to locate a white 2017 GMC Acadia stolen from a driveway in the south end of St. Thomas overnight between April 4 and April 5, 2026.

According to police, the vehicle was locked and the owner still has the only set of keys, which suggests the theft involved specialized methods to bypass the vehicle’s security. The stolen SUV carries the license plate DANB351. While police do not have an image of the specific vehicle, they note it is a 2017 model.

Residents with information regarding the location of the SUV are asked to contact the St. Thomas Police Service or provide an anonymous tip to St. Thomas Crime Stoppers. When reporting, residents should reference incident number ST26005787.

This incident occurs as the Équité Association reports a 22 percent decrease in auto thefts across Ontario in 2025. Despite this downward trend, the organization notes that recovery rates for stolen vehicles remain low at 51 percent, and the total cost of these crimes across Canada reached an estimated $900 million in insurance claims last year.
