Region of Peel– Investigators from the 12 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau are seeking assistance in identifying the suspect responsible for a break-and-enter in a place of worship in the Malton area of Mississauga.

On Monday, June 12^th, between 3:00 and 4:00a.m., a suspect entered a temple in the 1800 block of Drew Road in Malton.  Once inside, the suspect stole currency from donation boxes before fleeing the scene.

There was no damage to the temple's religious symbols or artifacts.  Investigators are confident that the suspect's motives were to steal the contents of the donation boxes and that this was not a hate-motivated crime.
