When he spotted an unknown person inside his commercial compound via CCTV early one morning last week, a Nanaimo business owner got on the phone to police.
A remote alert had been triggered about 4 a.m. Feb. 21 from the downtown business in the 100-block of Terminal Avenue. It appeared from the footage that the intruder was trying to steal a number of items. Nanaimo RCMP arrived to find a chain-link fence around the property had been cut. A few minutes later, they saw someone running from the area.He was in possession of break-in tools and also determined to be in breach of his court-ordered release conditions.
The suspect was later released and is facing charges that include breaking-and-entering and mischief. “With the help of updated CCTV cameras and a diligent, quick-thinking property owner, our officers were able to solve this break-and-enter and prevent the loss of potentially thousands of dollars in merchandise,” said Reserve Const. Gary O’Brien.
