Fast police response to break-in catches suspect in the act

Windsor Police say they foiled a break-in at a business on Wyandotte Street West near Rankin Avenue around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and they didn't have to go far to find a suspect.

Officers found the suspect inside the building, cutting electrical wiring.

Before police intervened, the suspect caused $500 in damage, but he was arrested without incident.

A 45-year-old man now faces a charge of break-and-enter at a place other than a dwelling.

Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call the Target Base Unit at 519-255-6700 ext. 4350, Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477, or go to www.catchcrooks.com.
