An investigation is underway after someone tried to use a stolen pickup truck to break into a St. Catharines business.

Officers believe the driver was 30-year-old white man, who stands at about 5'6" with a medium build. He was wearing a grey Nike hooded sweater, black pants and grey shoes with white soles at the time.

The truck also sustained significant damage as a result.
