Police have released security camera images of a suspect wanted in connection with dozens of vehicle break-ins across the city.

According to investigators, the thefts took place between Feb. 13, 2015 and March 11 in underground parking garages in the areas of Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue West and Victoria Park Avenue and Ellesmere Road.

Police say they believe the same man broke into and stole from more than 60 vehicles that were parked in

Det. Sgt. Sean Brosnan told CP24 that the suspect has not a lot of money or valuable from the vehicles.

“It is more the damage that he has done, the inconvenience of people having to go through their insurance companies to get the glass repaired," he said.

To discourage theft, Brosnan said that drivers should make sure that their valuables are not visible in the vehicle.

“Even the change being visible in the centre console gives him reason to break in to your car to steal your change," he said.

On one occasion, the suspect, who has been described as a black male, was reportedly seen wearing white running shoes and baggy blue jeans. Police say the man has also been spotted wearing a black hooded North Face jacket, a blue hooded North Face jacket with a black stipe across the back of the shoulders, and a grey baseball hat with a dark-coloured brim and a sticker on top.

Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to contact police at 416-808-3300, 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
