A Winnipeg man faces a handful of charges after a series of masked break-and-enters to three local businesses in July and September.
All three incidents took place in the late night or early morning hours, and in each case, the suspect broke a glass door to get into the building before fleeing with cash.
The police Forensic Services Unit was able to find forensic evidence at two of the scenes – break-ins on Grant Avenue and McPhillips Street – and identify the suspect with the help of the RCMP’s national forensic lab.
The suspect was arrested Tuesday morning at an apartment in the first 100 block of Carlton Street.
