New Westminster police need the public’s help to identify the suspect of a break-and-enter earlier this month.

The alleged theft happened on Sept. 13 around 6 a.m. when a man used a screwdriver to pry open the front door of an apartment building in the 300 block of Ward Street in Sapperton, according to a media release from police.

The suspect, once inside, used the screwdriver again, this time to pry open seven mail boxes and steal the contents of each box.

In security camera footage obtained by police, the suspect appears to have a light complexion and some facial hair. He is pictured wearing a black baseball hat, grey and black sweater, dark pants, black shoes and gloves, and a red bandana around his neck. The suspect was also carrying a shoulder bag.

Anyone who might be able to identify the suspect is asked to contact Const. Oliveira at 604-525-5411.
