Cobourg police probe rash of business break-ins

Cobourg police are seeking a suspect following a rash of break-ins at local businesses.

On Sunday around 6:30 p.m., a man broke into a fenced compound of a commercial business. Police say the suspect then used bolt cutters to steal a trailer with two all-terrain vehicles — a 2017 silver Cam-Am Outlander 1000 (plate 8FA25) and a 2016 brown Can-Am LP (plate 9PX91)

“The suspect used a stolen truck from the Durham Region to remove the trailer from the compound,” police stated.

The trailer is described as a 2017 white Atlas enclosed cargo 20-foot trailer (plate B94 62M).

Police say the suspect fled the area on one of the stolen ATVs, leaving the truck behind.

On Wednesday between 2:15 a.m. and 5 a.m. a suspect entered two commercial businesses on D’Arcy Street and caused a significant amount of damage, police say. Nothing was stolen.

“In all three incidents, it is believed to be the same suspect involved,” police stated Thursday.
