Police are actively searching for a suspect linked to a break-and-enter investigation in the Seaton Village neighbourhood, particularly in the vicinity of Christie Street and Yarmouth Road. This investigation was initiated after officers received reports of a break-and-enter incident that occurred on October 8, 2023.

According to the police report, the incident took place around 2:50 a.m. on that date. The suspect was caught on surveillance video allegedly attempting to force entry through the rear door of a residence in the area. In a bid to conceal their identity, the suspect reportedly sprayed a substance on the surveillance camera, but ultimately failed to gain access to the property. Following this attempt, the individual fled the scene, evading capture.

Investigators have indicated that the same suspect might be linked to another break-and-enter incident that occurred in close proximity around the same time frame. As a result, law enforcement is urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity in the area, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in assisting the investigation.

The police have not released detailed descriptions of the suspect at this time, but continue to seek any information that could help in identifying this individual. They are particularly interested in any witnesses who may have seen someone acting suspiciously in the Seaton Village neighbourhood during the early hours on October 8.

As the investigation continues, authorities encourage residents to ensure that their properties are secure, and to take precautions such as checking locks on doors and windows. Through collective community efforts and observance, the police hope to apprehend the suspect responsible for these break-and-enter attempts and enhance the safety of the community.
