What started as one break-and-enter investigation is now three, with police saying the same suspects broke into multiple homes on the same day in Kitchener and Waterloo.
The first was in the early afternoon last Friday in Kitchener, around Victoria and Stoke near Fischer-Hallman.
Investigators have now linked that break-in to two others from that same day in Waterloo, around Fischer-Hallman and Erb.
Those locations are:
- Stoke Drive and Victoria Street South, between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
- Sandford Fleming Drive and McCrae Place, between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m.
- Branstone Drive and Amberwood Drive, between 10:30 p.m. and midnight on May 30, 2026
Police say the thieves got inside each home through a back door, and stole jewellery and other property.
