Yarmouth Town RCMP and Yarmouth Rural RCMP have charged a man in numerous break-ins in Yarmouth County.
Between March 21 and April 27, 2022, numerous businesses in Dayton, South Ohio and Yarmouth were broken into.

On April 27, just before 9 a.m., RCMP received a report of an unconscious man sitting at a video lottery terminal (VLT) in Yarmouth. When RCMP arrived, they noted that the man was wearing rubber boots, a hoodie and a dark grey/blue hat. RCMP officers also noted that parked outside the establishment was a black Honda Civic with a pink car seat in the backseat of the vehicle. The man was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the Yarmouth Rural RCMP Detachment where he was held overnight.
