A Hamilton, Ont. man is facing over 30 charges in connection with thefts from multiple vehicles in the city’s downtown.

Hamilton police say they followed up on a rash of calls late last Thursday in which a number of citizens reported vehicle entries in the core.

“Officers were able to locate and arrest a suspect,” Const. Krista-Lee Ernst said in an email.

“During the arrest, the suspect was in possession of stolen property linked to the vehicle entries.”

The 50-year-old accused is facing charges tied to mischief and theft under $5,000, and failing to comply with probation.

Investigators believe there may be more victims and are encouraging others who suspect they were victimized to report an incident to Hamilton Police.
