Waterloo Regional Police are asking for information about a pair of break-ins at the same Cambridge business, just days apart.

The business, in the area of King St. East and Bishop St. South, was first hit in the early morning hours of Oct. 7. It was targeted again Oct. 9.

Both times, police say thieves made off with high-end fragrances.

Police are asking residents and business owners in the area to check security cam footage from those dates to see if anything suspicious shows up.

Information can be directed to Regional Police at 519-570-9777, extension 8255.

Anonymous tips can be provided to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.waterloocrimestoppers.com.
