Windsor police have arrested a suspect wanted for a bizarre theft last week.
Officers were called to a house on University Avenue East near Marentette Avenue on June 23. They were told that three masked people had hopped a fence the night before and entered an exotic bird coop on the property.
Thirty exotic birds, worth a total of $30,000, were stolen. One bird was killed during the incident.
A 29-year-old man was arrested by Chatham-Kent police. He's charged with break-and-enter to commit theft over $5,000, willfully harming an animal, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and wearing a disguise to commit an offence.
On Tuesday, Windsor officers arrested a 19-year-old man on Howard Avenue.
He's charged with break-and-enter and commit theft over $5,000 in a place other than a dwelling, animal cruelty, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence.
A third suspect, a juvenile, remains outstanding.
The charges have not been proven in court.
