The Thunder Bay Police Service is requesting public assistance in identifying the suspect of a recent break and enter to a business.
Officers with the Uniform Patrol Branch were originally dispatched to a reported break and enter at the Bargain Shop at 601 East Victoria Avenue at about 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 23.
Officers arrived to find signs that someone gained forced entry into the business through a window. An investigation revealed a male had entered the Bargain Shop at about 3:11 a.m., and fled with undisclosed store merchandise.
The male was described as wearing grey sweatpants, a black hoodie with a grey stripe down the arm, black running shoes, and a bright blue toque.
Members of the Thunder Bay Police Service’s Break and Enter and Armed Robbery (BEAR) Unit are investigating and working toward identifying the male suspect.
Through their investigation, officers obtained surveillance footage showing the suspect entering the business. Police are now releasing some of that footage in hopes the public can help identify the suspect.
