Officers responded to a report of a break and enter at a home near the 3000 block of Prospect Road on Thursday around 1:30 p.m., according to a news release from the RCMP.
Investigators learned a man was seen breaking into the residence before leaving the area with valuables; he fled in a white Volkswagen Jetta, states the release.
