Police say eight of the reported incidents involved thefts from motor vehicles and four involved damage to personal property.
Several of the complaints describe a male suspect with a similar appearance, and one homeowner was able to capture a photo of the suspect via home surveillance at around 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 7
With 12 reported incidents since Jan. 1, police are now releasing a surveillance image of that suspect.
He is described as a male with light to medium skin color who was wearing a green coloured or camouflage jacket with a white logo on the upper left side, black pants and white runners.
He was also seen wearing a large bright green face cloth covering the bottom half of his face. West Shore RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man responsible for the thefts.
