Officers searched the building and found a man in the washroom.

Police say an officer had their conducted energy weapon drawn and the man was taken into custody without incident.

A 30-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with breaking into and entering a place to commit an indictable offence and failure to comply with a probation order.

The accused is currently bound by a probation order with a condition to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

The accused was held in custody and appeared in weekend and statutory holiday court on Sunday.
