A second stolen city vehicle was later recovered by police as part of an unrelated investigation.

Police say a 55-year-old suspect was recently arrested in Toronto while trying to board a flight out of the country.
The second suspect, a 35-year-old man, is still being sought and is not believed to have a fixed address. He is known to frequently visit the Hamilton, Niagara and Burlington areas.
Each man faces charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit theft, intentional impersonation and theft of a motor vehicle.
