Break and enter suspect caught with bag of stolen foods
d
On October 13, shortly after midnight
Huron OPP officers received a 911 call
following an alarm call at the Canadian
Tire store in Exeter. The key holder of the
store went to the Canadian Tire location on
Thames Road after being contacted by his
alarm company. Upon arrival he found the
building was insecure and feared someone
may still be inside. The key holder then
called 911 to update police of the situation
and he moved his vehicle around the corner
and out of sight of the suspect should he/
she emerge from the store. The key holder
then stated that he could see a male exit
his store with a bag in hand. A direction of
travel was provided and the caller followed
the walking suspect from a safe distance.
Officers arrived quickly and were directed
to the suspect who was identified by the
key holder. The suspect was arrested and
found to be in possession of property from
inside the store as well as break in instru-
ments.
A 35 year old Exeter man is now facing
one count of Break & Enter, one count of
Theft Under $5,000, one count of Posses-
sion of Break in Instruments, one count of
Mischief Under $5,000, one count of Pos-
session of Property Obtained by Crime and
one count of Breach of Undertaking. The
Breach �Jndertaking. The
man remains in police custody pending the
results of a Bail Hearing on October 13.
Note that the key holder in this situation
did exactly the correct thing by not enter-
ing the insecure store. All too often key
holders arrive at an alarm call before police
and they enter the location to check it out.
Although most alarm calls are false, some
are not and clearing a location is best left
to police to handle. A suspect who gets
caught or surprised by an owner may injure
the owner in their attempt to flee.
