At approximately 2:30 am this morning the Sarnia Police were dispatched to the 200 block of Maria Street in the City of Sarnia regarding a male lurking around properties and attempting to gain access to a car parked in a driveway.
Police arrived in a short time and were able to locate the suspect who was attempting to flee on a bicycle. The suspect attempted to evade police but after a brief foot pursuit officers arrested a 56 year old male for trespass by night and possession of break and enter tools. The accused was found with a bag containing various instruments that could be used to gain access to property.
The accused is in police custody and will be attending court this morning for his bail hearing.
This is another example of how the community can and does assist the police in protecting our neighbourhoods.
