Names of the four were not re- leased but Montreal police said they were taken to Ottwwa by (our detectives Al the Ottawa Police Department who called for them shortly after they were arrested Friday night.

Police recovered nine cars Pri- doy, three stolen in Toronto, three in Hamilton, two in Ottawa and one in ong Branch, Ont.

Next, a Toronto operative would steal s late model car, insert its serial number on the Quebec reg- istration card and put the corri- pondlng license plates on the ear.
