Police are on the lookout for two male suspects following a north end business break-in on the weekend which saw fire extinguishers discharged, with a gas generator believed to have been stolen.

Officers responded Monday to a business near Silvercreek Parkway North and Woodlawn Road West, where staff reported two buildings and two trailers were entered early Saturday.

Surveillance video shows two males entered the property through a hole in the fence at about 4:30 a.m.

“It appeared the males discharged fire extinguishers both inside and outside the buildings,” states a police news release, which adds, “It is believed the males stole a gas generator.”

One suspect is described as a white male with a thin build, while the other was a white male with a heavy-set. Both were wearing dark clothes at the time and possibly balaclavas.

They may have been driving a vehicle, as headlights were caught on the surveillance video.

Anyone with information is asked to call Const. Firas El-Ayoubi at 519-824-1212 ext. 7129 or email [email protected]. Details can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.csgw.tips.
