On May 28, 2014, shortly after 3:30am the Sarnia Police Service uniform division responded to an alarm call to a business in the 1600 block of London Line in the City of Sarnia.
Upon arrival officers observed that the front entrance glass door had been smashed using a rock. A search of the building revealed that there was no one present in the building.
The suspect had left through a side door after having stolen a quantity of clothing from the business. Police were able to locate an article of the stolen clothing in the rear parking lot and were able to track through the back field the foot prints left behind by the suspect.
The prints led to the back of a motel located on London Line and through further investigation police were able to locate the man, who is in his 40′s, in one of the motel rooms. When the man answered the door the police observed the stolen articles of clothing lying in the room in plain view and thus the man was arrested for the offences of break and enter and possession of stolen property. The man will be held for a bail hearing.
The Sarnia Police Service Criminal Investigation Division will be continuing the investigation into this matter.
