In each case, the suspects first attempted to enter the homes through unlocked doors or windows but forced their way in if unsuccessful, police said, adding all homes were unoccupied at the time of the break-ins.

Police say they identified the pattern of the break-ins by using a mapping software purchased through a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Police are reminding the public to ensure all doors and windows are locked at all times and to report any suspicious activity.

The investigation into the incidents is ongoing, police said.
