N.S. man arrested after breaking into Port Hastings business, causing damage: RCMP
A man from Middle Sackville, N.S., has been arrested in connection with a break-and-enter at a business in Port Hastings, N.S.
Inverness County District RCMP received a report of a break-and-enter in progress at a business in the 100 block of Highway 4 just before 5 p.m. Wednesday.
When police arrived, they say officers saw the suspect running from the business into a wooded area. Police also noticed damage to a window and a substance that appeared to be spilled gasoline in an enclosed space inside the building, according to a news release from RCMP.
Police say 49-year-old David Campbell was arrested around 7 p.m. near the business.
He was charged with:
- break-and-enter with intent
- mischief
- breach of probation
Campbell had his first court appearance on July 4. He was held in custody pending future court dates.
According to police, the spilled gasoline was a gas leak due to damage that happened during the break-and-enter.
The leak required Nova Scotia Power and fire crews to attend the scene in order to shut off power and contain the spill.
