A person wearing a monkey mask is among several wanted in connection with a series of thefts across the Niagara region last month.
Niagara regional police said Tuesday that officers are investigating nine incidents they believe are connected: four in St. Catharines, four in Lincoln and one in Grimsby.
“The suspects in these incidents smash the glass front door to make entrance into a business and then steal the cash register. The incidents are often short, with the suspects fleeing the scene within a few minutes,” police said.

“The suspects conceal their identity using hoods, gloves, and various masks, and are believed to be operating in a group.”
Police added that the suspects are known to use either a light-coloured Cadillac sedan, possibly a Cadillac ATS, or a while sedan, which may be a Honda Civic.

The investigation is ongoing.
