Kingston police make arrests in string of break and enters

Police in Kingston, Ont., have arrested three people in connection with several break-ins this week.

At about 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, police were called to a commercial facility near Centennial Drive and Princess Street for a break and enter in progress.

Police say the suspects had cut a hole in the fence but weren’t able to steal anything since they were forced to flee when officers arrived.

According to police, they spotted two female suspects running through tall grass in a field and were able to arrest them.
