Suspect arrested in business break-in

A Lower Mainland resident has been charged with a break, enter and theft at a Salmon Arm business.

On December 5, a business on 30th Street SW in Salmon Arm reported they had been broken into overnight. Items valued at over $10,000 were reportedly stolen along with a small amount of cash.

“Investigators were quickly able to identify a suspect and a vehicle and later that same day, the suspect vehicle was located by a vigilant front line officer,” said Staff Sgt. Scott West.

The vehicle was stopped and the suspect driver was arrested and held in police custody.
