Charges have been laid after a break-in downtown that saw London police seize a set of brass knuckles.
A person called 911 to report seeing an unknown man with a flashlight in their backyard around 5:50 a.m. on Saturday. The man took off before police arrived.
Officers with the canine unit searched the area and arrested a suspect hiding under some bushes a short distance away.
A search of the man turned up brass knuckles, police said.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
A 26-year-old London man has since been charged with break, enter and theft, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon, and possession of a prohibited weapon while prohibited. The accused is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
