A 42-year-old man and a 54-year-old man, both from Sussex, N.B., have been arrested and stolen property has been recovered in the community, N.B.
On August 29, 2023, at approximately 3 a.m., members of the Sussex RCMP detachment responded to a report of a break and enter in progress at a business on Main Street, in Sussex, N.B. When police arrived, they observed that two men had broken a window to gain entry to the business, and were fleeing the scene with a large number of stolen items.
Later that same day, following a subsequent investigation, a 42-year-old man and a 54-year-old man were arrested in Sussex and approximately $1750 worth of stolen property was recovered.
The 54-year-old man was released and 42-year-old man was remanded into custody as he was already serving a custodial community sentence. Both men are scheduled to appear in Saint John Provincial Court on December 6, 2023.
The New Brunswick RCMP is committed to intelligence led policing, and this investigation is the latest in a series of police actions aimed at reducing property crimes in the province. The public plays a large role in helping achieve positive outcomes such as this one, and the Sussex RCMP would like to thank the public for their assistance in recovering this stolen property.
