TORONTO – Ontario says it will suspend driver’s licences for at least 10 years for those who have been convicted of stealing a car.
Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria says those thrice-convicted of auto theft would have their licenses suspended for life.
Sarkaria says the province is also implementing stiffer penalties including a one-year license suspension for those convicted of stunt driving.
Those penalties also increase on second and third convictions.
Sarkaria says a car is stolen every 14 minutes in the province.
Car thefts in Ontario have increased dramatically in recent years.
