A 35-year-old man from Tracadie, N.B. is facing charges after money was stolen from a business in the community.
On Jan. 8, police received a report of a break-and-enter at a business on Rue Du Moulin.

- break, enter and theft with intent to commit an indictable offence
- disguise with intent
- mischief
- unlawful possession of illicit cannabis

Brideau was later released on conditions and is scheduled to return to Tracadie Provincial Court on Feb. 8.
