Break-in Charges Laid

An area man faces charges in connection with a break-in and theft at a First Street home in Fort Frances over the weekend.

Provincial police says the owner left her home for only a few minutes only to return to find some prescription medication was taken.

Shortly after responding to that call, police stopped a vehicle for an unrelated matter, finding the missing medication in the driver's possession.

The 28-year-old man from Watten Township will now appear in court on charges of break and enter, possession of stolen property and failing to appear.
