Ottawa police have arrested a man they believe was behind a string of break-and-enters along Carling Avenue in recent months.
The break-ins began in June and “mostly” targeted businesses on Carling between Churchill and Edgeworth avenues, police said in a news release on Thursday.
Break-and-enter unit investigators have been probing more than 30 commercial break-ins along that strip over the last three months, Const. Amy Gagnon said.
