Tips from the public helped Lunenburg District RCMP arrest two men involved in a break, enter and theft in Lunenburg County.
On April 20, at approximately 6:45 a.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of a theft-in-progress at a residence on Clearland Lake Rd., in Clearland. The report was made by a concerned citizen.
Officers learned that an unknown man had been seen removing items from the property after the homeowner had left for work. The man was last seen getting into the passenger side of a Mazda CX-5.
Through the investigation, officers were able to identify the individuals who had been seen on the property.
On April 23, officers responded to Ohio Rd. in Stanley Section after receiving a report of two men in a Mazda CX-5 parked on private property. Officers attended the area and confirmed the men were the same individuals involved in the earlier incident.
Travis Walter Frank Rodway, 35, of Lunenburg County, who was also wanted on province-wide arrest warrants, was arrested and has been charged with Theft of a Motor Vehicle and Break and Enter. He appeared in Bridgewater Provincial Court on April 24 and remains in custody until his next court appearance on April 28.
A 30-year-old-man from New Russell was also arrested for Break and Enter. He was released on conditions and will appear in court at a later date.
“During the investigation, we identified that these individuals posed a risk of further victimizing the public, making their arrest a priority,” says Cpl. Dominic Laflamme, Lunenburg District RCMP. “Thanks to timely information from members of the public – including a report of a suspicious vehicle – officers were able to locate and arrest the men. This investigation highlights the crucial role the public plays in keeping communities safe.”
