Police quickly arrested a 35-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man, both from Caraquet, following a break and enter in Caraquet, N.B.

On January 16, 2026, at approximately 12:09 a.m., the Caraquet RCMP responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle parked on a property on St-Pierre Boulevard, in Caraquet. 

When members arrived in the area, they heard noise and saw lights coming from an abandoned business not far from the vehicle. The RCMP’s Police Dog Services, as well as members from the Tracadie RCMP, arrived on scene a short time later. Police quickly located two individuals inside the building and were arrested without incident.  

They were later released and are scheduled to appear in court on April 27, 2026. 

"Thanks to one person’s fast thinking and clear information, officers were able to track down and arrest the suspects without delay,” said Sgt. Charles Dubois of the Caraquet RCMP. "We know it’s not always possible to report a crime as it’s happening but reaching out to us as soon as you can, and sharing what you saw in detail, can make a significant difference in how an investigation unfolds."

The New Brunswick RCMP is committed to intelligence led policing, and this investigation is one of 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 Caraquet RCMP would like to thank the public for reporting crime and suspicious activity in their communities.

Anyone with information about, or who suspects, illegal activity in their neighbourhood is asked to contact their local police. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by downloading the secure P3 Mobile App, or by Secure Web Tips at www.crimenb.ca.

The investigation is ongoing.
