A wanted man has been arrested in connection with a Silver Heights break-in early Tuesday morning, Winnipeg police say.
Officers were called to the 2300 block of Portage Avenue after a suspect allegedly broke a window and entered a suite around 3:40 a.m. The resident was able to safely escape and call police, who spotted a man fleeing the scene on a bike.
While police gave chase, the man abandoned the bike and tried to hide in a vacant lot, where he was taken into custody.
