RCMP in Happy Valley-Goose Bay have identified a suspect in a number of recent crimes in the community.

Police were kept on the hop on Tuesday, starting with a call about a break-in at the former Paddon Home at 5 a.m. Officers discovered that someone had broken into the vacant Cook Street building, which is under renovation, and emptied a number of fire extinguishers inside, causing damage.

Later that evening, police were called to a robbery on Churchill Street. The suspect in that case was described as wearing a yellow hoodie and shorts. They fled on a stolen scooter before police arrived.

Meanwhile, a bicycle was reported stolen a short time later on White Crescent. Several other items were reported stolen from inside a vehicle parked on the property. The suspect, matching the description of the person in the robbery complaint, left the scene on a bike.

Then, police received a report of a break-in at a home on White Crescent. A number of items were stolen.

The person believed responsible for three of the crimes has been identified and efforts are underway to make an arrest.

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