The thefts took place between April and November this year in Peel Region and other parts of the Greater Toronto Area, police said.
A suspect was arrested in the case on Nov. 17.
Police said 38-year-old Abdul Aziz Adel, of no fixed address, has now been charged with theft over $5,000, two counts of assault with intent to resist arrest, obstructing police, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
He was being held in Brampton for a bail hearing.
