A man is facing multiple charges after two incidents at local businesses.
Officers were sent to Arthur Street West around 7:00 a.m. on Saturday after receiving reports of a break-in.
Upon arrival they found a business window had been smashed by a suspect looking to enter the building.
Officers also found evidence that a neighbouring business was damaged as well.
A suspect was located nearby and arrested after a brief chase.
They initially gave police a fake name before their real identity was found.
As a result, a 26-year-old is facing the following charges:
- Break and enter to commit an indictable offence (two counts)
• Mischief over $5,000
• Mischief under $5,000
• Obstruct peace officer
• Theft under $5,000
• False alarm of fire
The accused has been released from custody with a future court date.
