Why it matters
The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) issued a news release on October 9 asking for the public's help identifying a suspect linked to a series of commercial break-and-enters in Sandy Hill. The incidents occurred between August 12 and September 25, 2026 — roughly six weeks — and police attribute them to a single suspect who has not been identified.
Suspect description
The suspect is described as a man of average build with a dark beard and moustache. During the incidents he wore a green-and-white baseball cap, a dark T-shirt, dark pants and shoes. Police note clothing can change, so build and facial hair are more useful for identification.
How to report
Anyone with information is asked to call the OPS Break and Enter Unit at 613-236-1222, extension 4533. Anonymous tips can go to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or crimestoppers.ca. Sandy Hill businesses that experienced a break-in, attempted entry or unexplained disturbance between mid-August and late September should contact police.
Details not released
The release does not say how many businesses were targeted, what was taken, how entry was gained, or which streets were affected. Police have not said whether the suspect was caught on camera, whether he is believed to still be active in the area, or whether an arrest is expected.
