KITCHENER — Waterloo Regional Police arrested one person who they believe is responsible for 64 break and enters into mostly student residences in the university area in Waterloo.

On Thursday at the Frederick Street detachment, police displayed some of the electronics stolen over a two-year period. They included laptops, tablets, watches, USB sticks, Samsung cellphone, debit card, gift cards and house keys.

But police say they can not release the person's name, gender or the charges because of a publication ban.

They won't even say when the person was arrested or when the individual appeared in court.

Publication bans are imposed by judges and most often prevent the publication of evidence in a case.

Police spokesperson Alana Holtom said police are displaying some of the items stolen because they are looking for the owners in order to return the electronics.

"There are also potentially other victims and they should contact police," she said.

"This is a significant crime and there are still outstanding cases of break and enters."
