- Project NOMAD led to an arrest.
- The arrest is linked to residential break-ins.
- The incidents occurred across Peel Region.
Peel Regional Police have announced an arrest in relation to a series of residential break-ins across the region. The details of the specific methods used in these break-ins were not provided in the initial report. However, residential break-ins often exploit vulnerabilities in both doors and windows. Common entry points include forced entry through doors via kicking or prying, and through windows by smashing glass. The timing of these incidents, whether during the day or night, can also influence the method of entry chosen by perpetrators. Layered security measures are crucial for deterring and delaying forced entry. Our security window film adds a significant barrier to glass, holding shattered panes together to prevent quick access. This is effective against smash-and-grab tactics targeting windows and patio doors. Complementing this, our door fortification system, including ARX Guard strike plate reinforcement and frame anchoring, resists kicking and prying attempts on entry doors. Addressing both glass and door vulnerabilities provides a more robust defence. Physical security measures buy valuable time. This delay allows occupants to react, alarms to sound, and neighbours to notice suspicious activity. This increased response time is key to preventing successful break-ins.
How Mississauga typically gets hit.
For a Mississauga home with an attached garage, include the door between the garage and living area in the assessment alongside the front and rear entries. Keep any existing closing and safety functions in view when discussing changes. Condo owners should also identify the building-management requirements for exterior glass and suite doors. For your Mississauga property, ask us to review the front entry, garage-to-house door and reachable rear glass. We check the existing assemblies and access before recommending security film or ARX Guard door fortification. Book a free on-site assessment for a written quote.

Security Window Film
Security film is bonded to the interior face of existing glass. When the pane is struck, the film holds the shattered shards together, turning the typical 2-second smash-and-reach into a sustained forced-entry attempt against a glass surface that no longer separates. Optically clear, blocks more than 99% UV, compatible with tempered, laminated, single-pane and double-pane residential glass. Installed in a single day for most homes.
Door Fortification
The ARX Guard door fortification system reinforces the door assembly to make forced entry significantly harder. Components are selected based on the specific door and what the situation calls for. Compatible with smart locks, keypad locks, and traditional deadbolts.
