Man charged in break and enter and theft from a motor vehicle

A man is facing several charges after a break and enter over the weekend.

Halifax Regional Police were told someone broke into a home on North Street west of Gottingen either late Saturday or early Sunday, taking a wallet with identification and credit cards.

Those credit cards were then used to make purchases.

Then just after 11:30 a.m. Saturday police were told a man was checking the doors of homes on Creighton Street.

A suspect was soon arrested who officers say was carrying stolen property, credit cards from the earlier break and enter and a knife. 

Craig Morley Wilson, 37, was scheduled to appear in court Monday to face charges of:

• Break and enter
• Fraud under $5,000
• Using and possessing stolen credit cards (four counts)
• Possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace
• Resisting arrest
• Failing to comply with a condition of a court order (four counts)

HRP say the accused is also facing two counts of using and possessing stolen credit cards and one count of fraud under $5,000 in relation to a theft from a motor vehicle.

A purse with identification and credit cards was stolen from a car on Brunswick Street Saturday.
