Peel Regional Police investigators slapped the cuffs earlier this month on a pair of alleged barista bandits accused of stealing high-end commercial coffee machines worths tens of thousands of dollars.
Police said the probe – which saw two Mississauga men charged and most of the stolen property recovered – was handled by the 12 Division criminal investigations bureau after officers responded to an early morning break-in at a commercial building on July 11 in Mississauga.
They said the heist, which drew a police response at about 6:40 a.m., led to nine high-end commercial coffee machines been stolen. Cops said the nicked goods were valued at more than $85,000.
“During the investigation, officers learned the stolen machines had been listed for sale through an online marketplace,” police said in a news release. “Investigators identified two suspects and, on Sunday, Nov. 1, executed a search warrant at a residence near Bloor St. and Fieldgate Dr. in Mississauga.”

Most of the loot recovered, cops say
When cops executed the search warrant, they allegedly recovered six of the nine stolen coffee machines.
“Investigators believe the remaining three machines had been sold online before police executed the warrant,” cops said.
As a result of the investigation, Cezary Szuc, 45, and Leslie Ayotte, 57, both of whom are from Mississauga, were each charged with possession of property obtained by crime.
Police said that both of the accused were released on undertakings.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact investigators with the 12 Division criminal investigations bureau at 905-453-2121, Ext. 1233.
