Two suspects arrested after multiple break-ins
The Windsor Police Service has arrested two suspects in connection with a series of commercial break-and-enters.
Shortly after 12:30 a.m. on January 20, 2026, a man and woman, both wearing face masks, attempted to break into a business in the 90 block of Park Street using vice grips. After failing to manipulate the door’s locking mechanism, the suspects left the area. They returned twice – shortly before 3:30 a.m. and again after 6 a.m. – entering with bags and leaving within minutes, stealing more than $4,000 in merchandise.
At approximately 6 a.m. on January 24, 2026, the same male suspect, again wearing a face mask, used a pry bar to force entry into a business in the 1300 block of Ouellette Avenue. He stole a cash box containing approximately $150 before fleeing the scene.
The next day, shortly before 8 a.m., the same male suspect broke into a business in the 300 block of Riverside Drive West. The suspect, again wearing a face mask, stole a cash box containing approximately $700 in cash.
Through investigation, the Windsor Police Target Base Unit identified both suspects.
