They say in each break-in, the suspect threw an object through the front door, smashing the glass to gain entry, and that he was gone before officers arrived.
Late Tuesday afternoon, police said officers located the suspect in the city's downtown area, allegedly wearing the same clothes the offender wore in surveillance footage from one of the businesses.
Police allege the accused is also responsible for a break-in on Sunday at St. Louis Bar and Grill on Duckworth Street.
The 52-year-old man faces four counts of break-and-enter.
Police say it was discovered the accused was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching the terms of his statutory release.
He was remanded into custody.
