Halifax Regional Police are warning citizens after a recent rash of daytime break and enters in Halifax.

  • On March 16, police received a report of a break and enter on Northwood Terrace.
  • On March 18, police received two break and enter reports, one occurred on Vincent Street while the second took place on Union Street.
  • On March 19, police received three reports of break and enters that occurred on Shirley, Yukon and Hunter Streets.

In all incidents the suspect(s) gained entry into the homes by forcing a door, or breaking a window in the door and reaching in and unlocking the door.
