Halifax District RCMP has arrested two people after vehicle break-ins in Grand Lake and Waverley.
At approximately 9:15 a.m. on August 8, police were dispatched to a complaint of a vehicle break-in at Laurie Provincial Park in Grand Lake. Police learned that the driver’s side window of the vehicle was smashed and a number of items were taken from inside the vehicle including a GPS unit.
While investigating the first complaint, police received another complaint of a vehicle break-in, this time on Waverley Rd. in Waverley. Police learned that the vehicle window had been smashed and that a wallet had been stolen from inside the vehicle.
A third complaint, this time from a business in Fall River, was received a short time later of a man and woman trying to pay for pre-paid VISA cards and lottery tickets with multiple bank cards. Police responded and located a white pickup truck that the man and woman had reportedly been using.
