Coronach RCMP seeks public assistance identifying male involved in multiple break and enters

The Coronach RCMP request the public’s assistance in identifying a male in relation to a series of break and enters to businesses.

Sometime between the evening hours of February 28 and the morning hours of March 1, 2023, several businesses in Coronach were broken into. In each instance, only cash was stolen.

In the early hours of March 30, 2023, several businesses in Ogema were broken into. Only cash was stolen.

Coronach RCMP believes this is the same male responsible for multiple business break and enters in small communities throughout southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba over several years based on the businesses targeted, his entry methods, and the items stolen.

The RCMP is now releasing surveillance footage photos from some of the businesses targeted in hopes that someone may be able to identify the person in connection with the investigation.

The suspect is described as a man between the ages of 30 to 50 years old. He has sandy brown hair that is balding on top. He wears glasses and is known to wear hoodies, Mechanix brand gloves, a dark backpack, and a black reusable face mask.
