Police have released surveillance images from the University of Ottawa, as they try to track down one of their suspects in the theft of thousands of dollars' worth of laptop computers.
Sometime between September 19 and 27, police say, two people got in to buildings at the University of Ottawa, where they stole several laptops.
The total value of the stolen laptops is about $10,000.
Police have identified one suspect, but are still trying to track down the other one.
The suspect was carrying a red back pack and wearing a white baseball cap with the Nike logo, a black hoodie, a black t-shirt with a white design — which can be seen in two of the pictures.
Anyone with information about the thefts or the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call the Ottawa Police Break and Enter Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 4533. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
