One arrest has been made in a string of break-ins and mischief at downtown Peterborough business in recent months.
On Tuesday night before 8 pm., Peterborough Police Service officers responded to reports of a suspicious person trying to enter a locked business in the area of Charlotte and Water streets. The suspect left the area before officers arrived.
A search ensued and the suspect was found returning to the business where he resisted arrested by striking officers.
A 28-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with mischief under $5,000 and failure to comply with probation.
He was later released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court on March 30.
