Police are searching for suspects after three businesses in Halifax and Dartmouth were broken into overnight.
Halifax Regional Police say the first break-in happened at LA Convenience on Barrington Street just before midnight Wednesday.
Police say a white man between 5’10” and 6’0″ in his late 30s was seen in the Barrington Street area yelling and carrying a stick resembling a broom handle.
Police say he was seen by several people swinging the stick and yelling, just prior to smashing the store’s front glass door. According to police, he damaged the interior of the store as well.
