A St. Catharines man has been arrested in connection to a string of break and enters.

At two of the restaurants, witnesses reporting seeing a pair of suspects break in.

Police say the pair fled the scenes in a stolen Nissan Altima.

31 year old Raven James Tempest faces numerous charges.

The second suspect has not been located or identified.
