Police quickly arrested a 27-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, both from Moncton, N.B., following a break and enter in Berry Mills, N.B.
On November 10, 2024, at approximately 2:26 a.m., the Caledonia Region RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter in progress at a residence on McFarlane Road, in Berry Mills.
When members arrived in the area, they were made aware that the suspects had fled from the scene into the nearby woods. The RCMP's Police Dog Services (PDS) arrived on scene a short time later, and at approximately 3:45 a.m., the RCMP had two individuals in custody.
"As a result of an individual's quick action in calling police and providing detailed information, police were able to quickly locate and arrest the suspects," said Sgt. Ricky Leblond with the Caledonia Region RCMP Detachment. "We understand that not all crimes can be reported while they are in progress, however, calling us as soon as possible and providing a detailed description of what you witnessed can make a big impact on the outcome of an investigation."
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 Caledonia Region 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.
