The RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment’s Street Crime Enforcement Unit have arrested two men connected to an alleged break-and-enter in Westphal.
According to the RCMP, the incident stems from July 25, when officers were called to a business on Highway 7.
At the scene, police learned that a sea container on the property was broken into and its contents, valued at over $20,000, was stolen.
Police identified, located and soon safely arrested both suspects after they were seen in the vicinity of a home known to them, located on Montague Road in Lake Loon.
Executing a search warrant at the home, officers located and seized a portion of the property stolen from the sea container.
On July 26, officers recovered the remainder of the stolen property, which had been sold to a local business.
A 41-year-old man from Lake Loon and 28-year old Moncton man will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date to face several charges including breaking and entering with intent, theft over $5,000 and other charges.
The two men were released on conditions.
