A total of 15 daycares have been broken into thus far – nine in Edmonton and six in surrounding communities including Sherwood Park, Devon, Spruce Grove and Stony Plain – beginning with the first incident back on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2018, at a daycare near 102 Street and 164 Avenue.
The most recent incident occurred in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018, at a daycare near 82 Street and 117 Avenue.
In each incident, the suspects gained entry to the business by smashing the front glass doors.
The suspects have stolen cash, laptops and a PC tower. Investigators believe a male and female suspect are responsible for the series of break and enters. The male suspect was seen wearing a blue Nike hat, blue-hooded coat and white runners at some of the incidents.
The female suspect is usually wearing a camouflage hooded vest-type coat.
The suspects are also believed to be driving a dark coloured 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX (see surveillance images below).
