A man has been arrested after police say he broke into a Winnipeg business on New Year’s Day.
At 3:15 a.m. police went to a business in the 1600 block of Regent Avenue West, responding to a report of a commercial break and enter.
Officers arrived on the scene and found a man still within the premises. He was placed under arrest without incident. Police say a stolen vehicle was found nearby and seized.
