Maple Grove police are asking for help in identifying and catching a man who broke into three schools over the past month.
Surveillance images show the man walking the halls of Osseo Middle School about 2 a.m. on Dec. 21. About 90 minutes later, he was caught by cameras inside Osseo High School.
On Jan. 25, the same man is believed to have broken into Maple Grove Middle School around 2 a.m.
In all three cases, the suspect entered the buildings through a roof hatch and used a pry bar to open doors of classrooms and offices. The thief stole cash, gift cards and medication, police said. Anybody with information can call Maple Grove police detectives at 763-391-8504 or 763-315-7650.
