I wonder if the woman realizes she dead already??

She has her face all over the Internet and she is the only way to connect the car thieves to them.

She should be running to the police for protection.
if she is still alive. she may cop a plea.

Alleged teen Porsche thief gets bail in Peel, then detained by Toronto cops

She was granted bail. But she was only free for a second.
Accused of a Porsche theft, Sarah Badshaw was granted bail on charges by Peel police in Brampton Monday but taken into custody by Toronto Police Monday and will appear in court Tuesday.
She was granted bail. But she was only free for a second.

When a justice of the peace grants an accused bail, it’s no guarantee he or she will remain free, pending the outcome of their case.

Sarah Badshaw found this out on Monday.

The good news for the alleged Porsche thief is she was granted bail in a Brampton courtroom Monday.

But not so fast, Sarah!

After receiving bail, the 18-year-old was taken into custody by Toronto Police officers, who are conducting their own investigation into auto thefts in the GTA.



“The plan is she will be in court in a Toronto at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday,” said Peel Regional Deputy Chief Marc Andrews.

A second bail hearing is expected. This time, police say, for pending charges out of Toronto.

None of the allegations against her have been tested in court.

Toronto Police have so far not commented about their investigation but indicated they soon will. Toronto Police Const. Sinderela Chung told The Toronto Sun investigators, “have advised that they will provide an update by way of media release.”

This is expected to come Tuesday.

Badshaw, last week, was charged by Peel police with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm, theft of a motor vehicle, failing to remain after an accident resulting in bodily harm and with driving without a licence. Those charged by police are considered innocent unless proven guilty in court.


But in the court of public opinion, there was a viral security video that has been seen the world over. It shows an SUV backing over a man, who suffered injuries, on the driveway of the victim’s Mississauga home. He is healing from those wounds and is expected to recover.


Police had been looking for the young woman since the Sept. 6 incident was caught on a doorbell camera.

It shows a woman at the door of a home, saying she was “there for the Porsche,” and explaing she was waiting for her father to show up. It shows the owner of the vehicle being run over by the SUV as it was backed out of a driveway in the Winston Churchill Blvd.-Eglinton Ave. area.

After turning herself in Sept. 19, police in Peel said their counterparts in Toronto were also investigating people allegedly connected to the Mississauga incident. Police alleged there were accomplices to this auto theft – all of whom remain at large.


Badshaw spent the weekend in jail, but was granted bail in the Davis courthouse in Brampton. Andrews said among the conditions she must comply with were not having “associations” with certain people.

This case is still under investigation and is very active at this time.

Peel police sources say Toronto cops transported Badshaw from the Brampton court to Toronto. It’s unclear if Badshaw, who on social media has an advertisement as a babysitter, will be given bail in Toronto Tuesday.

But what is clear is she was released from jail Monday – as short-lived as that may have been.

Peel Region's 'Porsche Girl' gets bail twice in two days

Police alleged this was an elaborate honey trap -- a plan to trick or dupe victims by using a well-dressed, presentable young woman as bait.
Sarah Badshaw, 18, faces charges for a carjacking that saw the owner of a Porsche Cayenne run down in Mississauga on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.
Three alleged car theft attempts. One man allegedly run over when his stolen Porsche reversed out of his driveway. Bail ordered by two justices of the peace.


Police say September has been a busy month for this 18-year-old Brampton woman.

This is Ontario justice where mischief charges can land a woman in jail for 49 days of pre-trial custody for political protest while an accused facing multiple charges — including auto theft and operating an automobile causing bodily harm — serves just three days in jail before receiving bail.

In this case, Sarah Badshaw didn’t just get bail once. She got it twice — in just two days.

She was granted bail in a Finch Ave. courtroom Tuesday on new Toronto Police charges, just a day after being released on conditions at the Davis Courthouse in Brampton for charges laid by Peel Regional Police.

According to allegations, Badshaw may have looked like a harmless woman out to test-drive a used Porsche Cayenne that was being sold privately through online auto selling websites. But looks can be deceiving.

Police claimed this was an elaborate honey trap — a plan to trick, dupe or disarm unsuspecting marks by using a well-dressed, presentable young woman as bait.

But thanks to police, a lid has allegedly been put on the pot. In arresting a woman known as “Porsche Girl” for alleged crimes in their jurisdiction, Toronto Police officers are claiming a viral video of a brazen theft in Mississauga was no one-off.



It was, police asserted, a pattern. They alleged that by posing an interested buyer, this accused and accomplices developed a strategy to rip off car owners.

According to court records, police claim when it comes to using a ruse to commit car thefts, this suspect scored a hat trick.

“Sarah Badshaw, 18, of Brampton, was charged with theft of motor vehicle, attempt to commit an indictable offence and possession of property obtained by crime over,” said Toronto Police in a news release.

On Sept. 19, Badshaw was charged by Peel Regional Police with several counts, including operating a motor vehicle causing bodily harm. She was released on bail Monday only to be detained a short time later by Toronto Police officers who had her in court Tuesday morning on fresh charges.


Her detention was short-lived.

By the end of the workday Tuesday, police say she was free again on similar conditions handed out in Peel: She’s to stay away from alleged accomplices — all of whom are still at large. Her next court date in Toronto is Oct. 29, while she’s scheduled to appear in a Brampton court for the Peel charges on Oct. 23.

Meanwhile, police are alleging an extensive trail of crime.


“On Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024, at approximately 3:30 p.m., police responded to a call for a theft of a motor vehicle in the Kipling Ave. and Rathburn Rd. area” where police alleged “a male and female suspect attended a residence for a pre-arranged meeting to purchase the victim’s vehicle.” The owner “allowed them to enter the vehicle to inspect the interior and test the engine,” according to the accusations, before “the suspects started the vehicle and immediately drove it away.”

Police are still looking for “a black 2021 BMW X6 with Ontario licence plate CPXC183.”

These new charges, as well as the ones levelled by Peel Regional Police, have not been tested in court.

Toronto Police are basing their charges on two alleged incidents which they say came five days after a now-famous Sept. 6 auto theft, which was caught on video.

The doorbell security video shows a man run over — as the Porsche reverses down his driveway in Mississauga’s Winston Churchill Blvd.- Eglinton Ave. area — after a young woman posing as a potential buyer showed up at his door.

Then, on Sept. 16, at about 5 p.m., police responded to a call for a suspicious incident in the Dufferin St. and Yorkdale Rd. area where it is “alleged the same male and female suspect attended a parking lot for a pre-arranged meeting to purchase the victim’s vehicle.” The “female suspect approached the victim and requested to inspect the vehicle” but when she was “acting very nervous,” the “victim decided to end the interaction,” according to police.

Police say they are also looking for at least one other suspect: “An outstanding male suspect is described as South Asian with a thin build and a long black beard.”

As of now, in both Peel and Toronto, Badshaw is the only one facing charges, while her alleged male accomplices remain at large.

At least for now.

Accused auto theft crew allegedly tied to 'Porsche Girl' busted
Two adults and two youths now face charges as well

Sarah Badshaw, 18, faces charges for a carjacking that saw the owner of a Porsche Cayenne run down in Mississauga on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.
Just call them the alleged Honey Pot Five.


Investigators claim the infamous Porsche girl – accused of being involved in a sneaky auto theft ring – wasn’t working alone.

And 18-year-old Sarah Badshaw is now no longer alone before the courts, either.

She has some company — the whole company.

Their alleged MO to surprise unsuspecting car sellers and then dash off with their for-sale car during a test drive or inspection may have worked for a while, but cops have now shut it down.

The Toronto Sun learned Thursday that Peel Regional Police have arrested four alleged accomplices and charged them with numerous criminal counts.

Joining Badshaw before the court system are two adults and two youths who can’t be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.


The first of the two accused adults is Rainer Herschel Fernando, 36, of Toronto. He’s charged with two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, possession of an automobile master key and obstructing a police officer. He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.


The second accused adult, Steven Giselle Lopez, 21, of Toronto, is charged with possession of property obtained by crime and possession of an automobile master key. He was released with conditions and will be asked to appear in court at a later time.

“Investigators believe these individuals to be part of an organized group responsible for various serious offences and anticipate laying further charges and identifying additional suspects,” Peel police said in a news release Friday.

Anyone with information is asked to call the 11 Division Auto Theft Unit at 905-453-2121, ext. 1152 or the Commercial Auto Unit at 905-453-2121, ext. 3313. Or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).


Meanwhile, as the Sun previously reported, Badshaw was granted bail in both Peel Region and Toronto. The Brampton woman will have to be back in court for two dates in the different jurisdictions in October.

None of the charges against any of the five have been tested in court and all are considered innocent until proven guilty. But they are all now going to court.

This was some serious sleuthing by 11 and 22 Division auto theft detectives, who also recovered two high-end SUVs

It’s not lost on Peel cops or the city of Mississauga how an innocent man was allegedly tricked into handing over the keys to his Porsche Cayenne to a young woman who said she was there to potentially purchase the SUV and asked to check it out while she waited for her father to arrive.


Doorbell video from the home shows the man was subsequently run over by his own car – before the Porsche and another stolen car fled the area.

He survived but received many injuries that he still suffers from — and he understands that he is lucky to be alive.

Toronto Police, who are also all over this case, allege Badshaw was also involved in two more car theft incidents in Toronto. She was charged and appeared in court before being released from custody on a paltry $3,000 bail.

Toronto cops are still investigating and further charges against alleged accomplices could result.

Car thieves may be good with their unique methods to steal cars, but police are getting pretty good at catching suspects, too.
