Halifax Regional Police have charged a man in relation to a break and enter at a phone repair shop last week.
Officers responded to the break and enter just before 4 a.m. on Dec. 28, 2018 at Geebo Device Repair on Lady Hammond Road.
The store’s manager, Nic Merry, told Global News the thieves had smashed open the commercial-grade glass door and then kicked open an interior door. Several new LG G5s, LG G6s, iPad Minis and customers’ devices were allegedly stolen.
