Niagara police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect wanted for breaking into a St. Catharines business and stealing a flatbed trailer earlier this month.

Police responded to calls of a break-in at a commercial property located on Hiscott St. near Scott St. on Aug. 3.

Officers say the owner of the business indicated the suspect broke the gate on the property and stole the trailer.
