A man has broken into five Mexican restaurants in White Bear Lake over the past two months and police are asking for the public's help in finding him.

The suspect is also believed to be responsible for string of other forced-entry burglaries across the metro since September, a dozen in all, said Captain Dale Hager of the White Bear Lake Police Department.

Surveillance video images show the suspect wearing a dark blue or black hoodie and yellow gloves in one of the heists. He also is believed to have been driving a white 2013 to 2018 Nissan Pathfinder or similar vehicle in many of the cases, Hager said.

Anybody with information is asked to call White Bear Lake police at 651-429-8552.
