A Brock tool theft investigation has prompted a new public appeal from Durham Regional Police, who are trying to identify a man suspected of taking tools from Home Hardware.

The appeal was issued October 26 and concerns an incident on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Police say the suspect entered a Home Hardware store in Brock Township at about 12:30 p.m., stole multiple tools and left the area.

Investigators describe the vehicle as a grey Honda CR-V from the 2023–2026 model years. The release does not identify a licence plate, the value of the tools or the exact store address.

Police describe the suspect as a white man aged approximately 30 to 40, about five feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds. They say he has a distinctive monster or demon-face tattoo on his right shin.

A suspect photograph is available through the police release linked below. The illustration accompanying this article is conceptual and does not depict the suspect or establish what the vehicle looked like at the scene.

Anyone with information about the Brock tool theft is asked to contact Detective Constable Ryan at 905-579-1520, extension 1505. No arrest or charge is announced in the appeal.
