Two Charged After Halton Police Seize Re-VINed Vehicles Linked to Milton

Two men are facing multiple charges after a months-long Halton Regional Police investigation into a pair of vehicles registered in Milton with altered identification numbers, police say.

What Happened

According to Halton Regional Police, investigators opened the case in November 2025 after spotting inconsistencies in the Ministry of Transportation registration paperwork for two vehicles. Police allege the vehicles had been re-VINed — meaning their original vehicle identification numbers had been swapped out for different ones — and that forged bills of sale and employment letters were used to register them to an unsuspecting local company.

Police say the investigation led to the seizure of a 2023 Ford F-150 originally reported stolen out of Mississauga and a 2021 Dodge Charger originally reported stolen out of Windsor. Both vehicles had allegedly been fitted with altered VINs before being registered in Ontario.

Key Details

• Amer Kunda, 55, of Orangeville has been charged with 11 offences related to forging documents and failing to comply with court orders.

• Sameil Kunda, 28, of Milton has been charged with four offences related to forging documents and driving while under suspension.

• Both men have been released from custody and are scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

• No conviction has been reported in this matter, and the investigation is ongoing.

Community Impact

Vehicle re-VINing and fraudulent registration schemes can leave everyday buyers unknowingly in possession of stolen property, and Halton Police say the case underscores the importance of having a used vehicle's history checked before purchase. Residents who bought a vehicle privately in the Milton area in recent months and have concerns about its documentation are encouraged to contact investigators.

Background

Halton Police say they believe there may be additional offences connected to this investigation and are asking anyone with information to contact the 1 District Criminal Investigations Bureau, or to submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.
