Police have arrested and charged a man after a break-in and animal cruelty incident that occurred in Dartmouth last week.
Halifax Regional Police say a man called police at about 11:40 p.m. on Sept. 29, wanting to turn himself in after an incident on Windmill Road. The man was arrested near the Macdonald Bridge.
According to police, he was required to return to the East Coast Forensic Hospital in Dartmouth, but hadn’t returned. Officers had been searching for him since 9:45 p.m. that night.
Just before midnight, the owner of a home on Windmill Road reported to police they had returned “to find their house had been broken into and their dog had been stabbed.”
