Police are stepping up investigations into a spate of break and enters across the Hunter.
In the first incident, a man broke into a Thornton supermarket in the early hours of June 5 and stole a cash box.
A fast-food restaurant inside the Rutherford Mall was broken into at about 1.00am on June 13, with a man stealing cash.
Then, just before midnight last Wednesday, a man broke into a supermarket at the corner of Main Road and Callan Street Edgeworth and stole a cash box.
Police believe the same man is responsible.
