EAGLE BAY, B.C. — RCMP in the Shuswap say a single arrest Monday (Nov. 16) helped officers solve a series of break-ins and nab a man wanted on outstanding warrants in one fell swoop.

In a release, Salmon Arm RCMP says officers were called at 7:00 a.m. Monday to a break-and-enter in the 2600-block of Eagle Bay Road.

Investigators followed tracks from the first break-in to discover two more break-ins.

At the third home, a man carrying break-and-enter tools ran from police. Officers gave chase and took him into custody.

Officers knew who the suspect was and arrested him for driving while prohibited in addition to the break-in offences. He had been the driver of a vehicle that had rolled into the ditch nearby. The man was also wanted on outstanding warrants. RCMP say he “had been on the run for months.”
