Man sought in donation bin theft from Sikh temple in Niagara Falls

Police have released a photo of a man they believe stole a donation bin from a Sikh temple in Niagara Falls.

Officers were called to the Sikh Temple and Community Centre at 8405 Lundy’s Lane shortly before 4 p.m. on Sept. 21.

Investigators learned someone had entered the prayer room of the temple around 10:10 a.m. and stole a locked donation bin.

The thief fled the area on foot, heading southbound across the street to the Americana Resort parking lot.

He was then seen getting into a silver or grey, four-door sedan. Police say the vehicle exited the lot and traveled east on Lundy’s Lane towards Kalar Rd.

The suspect is described by police as white, tall and was wearing a black “Zoo York” hooded sweatshirt, a black baseball cap, green army-style cargo shorts, sunglasses, black socks, bright red and orange sandals and a black face mask.

Police are hoping the public can help identify the suspect in the photo.

Anyone with information that could help with the investigation is asked to contact 905-688-4111, ext. 1009667.
