This security camera image from Anthony's Food Store in York led to a tip identifying Craig Ford as the suspect.

York police issued an arrest warrant for Craig Ford, 24, of Auburn, N.H., on Friday and the U.S. Marshal's Violent Crime Task Force in New Hampshire arrested him Wednesday morning without incident. He was taken to Rockingham County Jail pending extradition to Maine.

Police suspect Ford is responsible for multiple commercial burglaries along the Route 1 corridor from late summer through November and more charges are anticipated.

Police identified Ford as a suspect after publicizing a security image of the burglar which led to a tip identifying him, said York Sgt. Thomas Cryan.
