Lewisporte RCMP are investigating a string of break-and-enters at a business in the town, during which numerous tools were stolen.

The first incident happened on May 1.

Police say a suspect entered a secure outdoor compound on the property and forced their way inside the business.

That same suspect returned to the scene of the crime at least two more times leading up to May 4.

A number of tools, most of which were DeWalt brand, were taken. The stolen items include pressure washers, welders, drills, skill saws, grinders, and impact wrenches.

Police believe the person may have been at the business in the days leading up to the crime.

The suspect was captured on surveillance walking away from the business carrying duffle bags filled with the stolen items.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
