RCMP are investigating a string of break and enters in rural Saskatchewan they say may be related and are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect.

Canora RCMP received a report of a break and enter in Rama, Sask., about 180 kilometres northeast of Regina, that happened sometime between July 28 and Aug. 2. 

An unknown number of suspects broke into an office building, stealing credit cards and an undetermined amount of money.

RCMP crime analysts now believe it to be connected to other break and enters that took place in southern and central Saskatchewan in the past few years.

Police have released a photo of a suspects whose picture was captured at two break-ins. 

The suspect is described as a male over the age of 40 who wears glasses. He is often seen wearing a face covering or a hood, and is often wearing gloves. 

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Canora RCMP at 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting the Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
