Hamilton police say that a wanted federal offender is one of two people arrested thus far in a string of commercial break and enters in Waterdown as they continue to search for an additional two suspects.

Officers initially received reports of several break-ins into businesses in the Waterdown area along Dundas Street East between Hamilton Street and Highway 6, Flamborough in the evening hours of June 24 into the early morning of June 25.

Two suspects have now been positively identified by police and one has been linked to a series of similar break and enters throughout the city in July and August.

On August 18, one of the suspects pictured in security footage entered a commercial establishment where police would be alerted.

As a result of this report of a sighting of the suspect, Paul St. Pierre was arrested and now faces seven charges in connection with the investigation.
