Sarnia police release video to identify suspect

Sarnia police are looking to identify a man accused of breaking a parking gate at Bluewater Health.

A video of the incident was posted to social media on Wednesday.

Police said the suspect, who "appeared to be inebriated," walked to the hospital's parking lot, off of East Street, overnight between July 1 and July 2.

A time-lapse of the video shows the suspect twisting and pulling off the parking gate, which caused about $1,000 in damage.

Anyone with information is asked to contact city police at 519-344-8861 extension 0 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
