A Peterborough, Ont., man is facing charges in connection with a business break-in early Thursday morning.
Just after midnight, Peterborough Police Service officers responded to a reported break and enter in progress at a plaza in the area of Hilliard Street and Marina Boulevard.
“It was reported that a male had approached a business, smashed a window, and went inside,” police said.
No one was found in the business, but officers located a suspect matching the description provided a short distance away. Police say the man was in possession of a hammer at the time of his arrest.
A 40-year-old man was charged with breaking and entering and possession of a break-in instrument.
Police say the accused was also found to be wanted on nine outstanding warrants.
He was held in custody and will appear in court in Peterborough later Thursday, police said.
