On July 11, Sussex RCMP responded to a theft of fuel from a local gas station.
Two days later, officers received a report of a suspicious fire at a home on Route 111 in Jeffries Corner. While no injuries were reported, the exterior of the residence was damaged.
On July 18, police were alerted to a break-and-enter at a home on Elmview Avenue in Sussex. Police say a man was assaulted inside his home and transported to hospital with serious injuries.
After identifying a person of interest in the investigation, officers arrested a 28-year-old man at the intersection of Park Street and O’Connell Avenue in Sussex on August 2. A 24-year-old woman was also arrested at the intersection. She was released pending a future court appearance.
