On Oct. 16, RNC officers responded to a reported break and entry into a private residence in the town.
Followup investigation by RNC Patrol Services, Criminal Investigation Division and Forensic Identification Services esulted in the arrest of the suspect.
He’s charged with nine counts each of possession of stolen property, fraud, uttering a forged document in relation to stolen cheques, and breaches of court orders. He was released to appear on provincial court at a later date.
