Ottawa police have identified the suspect from a Kanata area theft in February.

Police were looking for a man they say hid in a store at the Kanata Centrum, before it closed — and then robbed the store after the staff went home.

The theft happened on Sunday, Feb. 26, but police released images of their suspect on Tuesday, May 2.

Police have now identified the suspect and thanked the public for their assistance.

The investigation continues.
