WRPS believe string of commercial break-ins were connected

By Justin Koehler

Waterloo Regional Police are busy this holiday season, investigating a string of break-ins across Kitchener they say they believe to be connected.

Officers said in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, Dec. 20 they were called about multiple break-ins centred around the area of Victoria Street North and Forwell Road.

Those incidents are mainly centred around commercial properties in that stretch, with WRPS saying the suspects were able to gain entry by tampering with the locking mechanisms on the front doors of each location.

The suspects gained entry and allegedly took cash and other small electronic devices before exiting the building and fleeing the scene.

No details have been provided on the number of potential suspects or their descriptions involved in those break-ins, leading police to reach out to the public for assistance.

WRPS is asking that anyone with details on the string of incidents give them a call at 519-570-9777 or provide information anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
