Cobourg police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a person of interest in connection with four break-and-enter incidents at businesses in the Town of Cobourg.
At around 7:18 a.m. last Monday (July 22), police responded to a break-and-enter incident at an Elgin Street East business, where it was reported a person entered the building by prying a door open and stole cash before leaving the area.
On Friday (July 26), police received reports of three similar break-and-enter incidents, at an Elgin Street West business at around 6:10 a.m., at a Strathy Road business at around 6:37 a.m., and at an Elgin Street East business at around 7:30 a.m.
Police, who say the theft of cash and property damage amounts to around $5,500, are continuing to investigate the incidents. They believe the same person was involved in all four incidents, and have released surveillance images of a person of interest that are working to identify.
Anyone with any information about the person of interest, or with dashcam or CCTV footage of the areas involved at the time of the incidents, is asked to call the Cobourg Police Service at 905-372-6821.
