At roughly 8:30 p.m., officers were in the area of Lansdowne Street and Monaghan Road, attended the local business and located the man. He was recognized from previous incidents with the police. K9 Gryphon assisted in keeping the male from fleeing the business. Stolen property was recovered during the arrest.

As a result of the investigation, the man was arrested on the strength of the five warrants for failure to comply with probation x17, theft under $5,000 x8, mischief under $5,000 and further charged with:

• Theft under $5,000

• Mischief under $5,000

• Fail to comply with probation x2

Police say there is also an element of hate/bias connected to this incident.  These elements will be addressed during the court process.

The accused was held in custody and appeared in Weekend and Statutory Holiday (WASH) court on Sunday.
