Edmonton police say a 46-year-old man is now facing 35 break-and-enter-related charges.

The EPS says that in May, they issued a warning regarding a man believed to be connected to a string of break and enters.

Through an investigation, police learned that several beauty supply stores had been targeted, and between March 11 and June 10, there were 35 connected incidents.

It is believed that around $70,000 to $80,000 worth of merchandise was stolen, which included high-end hair trimmers, dryers, and styling tools, as well as gel nail polish, fragrances, and guitars.

Police say they were able to identify 46-year-old Donald Lisk as the man believed to be responsible for the break-and-enter thefts.

Lisk has since been charged with 35 counts of break and enter and two counts of attempted break and enter.
