A London man is facing charges after a concerned citizen tipped police off to a possible break-in at an east-end business.
The citizen reported seeing a suspicious person holding a shovel outside of the TSC Store at 2209 Dundas St. at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Officers arrived to find a glass door damaged and arrested a man fitting the description of the suspect in front of the store. A search of the man turned up items belonging to the business, police said.
A 48-year-old London man is charged with break and enter with intent. He is scheduled to appear in court on December 15.
"We want to take this opportunity to thank the members of the public for reporting crimes to the London Police Service. Often things go unreported, and we continue to remind Londoners, when we don’t know – we can’t go," police said in a statement.
