One arrest had been made following a series of break-ins at Tim Hortons restaurants in Blenheim.
According to Chatham-Kent Police, two suspects forced their way into the Chatham Street South location late Monday night, stealing a significant amount of cash from the register, then returning a short time later and taking the store’s surveillance equipment.
A few hours later, two suspects broke into the Tim Hortons store on Talbot Street West, again stealing a significant amount of money.
A warrant was issued for a King Street South residence in Highgate on Wednesday and officers arrested one suspect.
A 41-year-old is charged with three counts of break and enter, and three counts of possession of property obtained by crime. He was held in custody for a bail hearing.
Meantime police continue to search for the second suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact Constable Adrian Roy at adrianr@chatham-kent.ca or 519-436-6600. Anonymous callers may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477.)
