Windsor police seek Nintendo Switch thieves (PHOTO)

Windsor police are hoping someone can help identify a group of thieves who made off with $10,000 worth of electronics.

It happened on January 17 at a store on Dougall Avenue off West Grand Boulevard. Police say the group of five men entered the store. Four of them distracted store employees while the fifth broke into the display case and stole Nintendo Switch consoles. The suspects then drove off in a dark-coloured truck and a dark-coloured SUV.

Investigators have released security camera images of the men and are asking the public to take a look.

Police believe this is the same group of five men who stole about $5,000 worth of tools from a home improvement store on Division Road that same evening.

Anyone who can identify any, or all, of these men should call Windsor police's Target Base Unit at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4355. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477) to be eligible for a cash reward.
