NRPS investigating string of break-ins believed to be connected

Niagara Regional Police are investigating a series of commercial break-ins across the region in April.

Officers say four incidents have been reported in St. Catharines, four in Lincoln, and one in Grimsby, and they’re believed to be connected.

Police say suspects are smashing front doors to get inside businesses, then quickly stealing cash registers before fleeing within minutes.

Investigators believe the suspects are working as a group and are disguising themselves with masks, gloves, and hooded clothing.

They’re also believed to be using a light-coloured Cadillac sedan and a white sedan, possibly a Honda Civic.
