Mounties have made an arrest after an investigation into property crime in St. Stephen.

RCMP say an officer spotted a suspicious vehicle in the driveway of a burned house on May 16.

They also saw a man taking wiring from the home on Pleasant Street, police said in a news release.

“The member approached the man and observed what was believed to be methamphetamine in his possession,” said Tuesday’s news release.

Officers had the vehicle towed and arrested a 32-year-old man from Campobello at the scene. The man was later released and is due in court in October.

Police searched the vehicle on June 8 and seized more meth, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and a number of previously stolen items, including Dewalt power tools.
