Thieves in Toronto target Toyota Highlander SUVs

Police say thieves stole six Toyota Highlander SUVs in a Toronto neighbourhood overnight.

Owners reported the vehicles were stolen from driveways around the Leaside neighbourhood (in the Bayview and Eglinton Avenues area).

Investigators call the concentrated thefts of a single-style vehicle ``highly unusual.''

Authorities say they are still trying to determine if an organized crime ring is behind the thefts.

They are also trying to determine if the thieves used ``proximity keys'' to steal electric codes from lock systems a new technology available on the Toyota Highlander.
