At 12:50 a.m., officers responded to Studio 14 gift store, located at 2393 Agricola Street, for a report of a break and enter in progress. A local resident heard glass breaking and observed a man remove property from the business. Officers contained the area and approximately 30 minutes later observed a man matching the description provided by the witness. The suspect was located on West Street and ran away from officers. He was arrested a short distance later on the Halifax Common with the assistance of a K-9 unit. A 46-year-old Halifax man is facing a charge of break and enter, two counts of breaching a probation order and two counts of breaching a recognizance. He will appear in Halifax Provincial Court today. The stolen cash was also recovered.
