A 23 year old Sarnia man was arrested this morning just around 9:30 AM at an address on Confederation Street in Sarnia and charged with Mischief Over $5,000, Break and Enter, and Breach of Probation from a break and enter that occurred sometime between 7 PM on November 16 and 9:30 AM on November 17 of 2011. The break and enter occurred in the 100 block of North Christina Street. The accused smashed a window at the business then forced open a rear door and entered inside. Many items were removed from inside including some jewelry. The value of these goods was estimated to be approximately $3,000.
The accused left behind blood drops from a cut he sustained at the scene. These blood drops were collected by the Sarnia Police Forensic Identification Branch. The blood drops were found on the door and inside a display case where the items had been removed from. The blood drop samples were sent off to the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto for analysis.
A match to the DNA was made and Lewis Giuseppe Rising was arrested and faces the charges before the court. He remains in custody and will appear again via video on January 24, 2014.
