Blenheim man accused of slashing police cruiser's tires before breaking into LCBO
A Blenheim man is facing a trio of charges after what appears to have been a planned-out break-in at his hometown LCBO.
Chatham-Kent police said their investigation started when officers got a call from a witness who said they saw a man puncturing the tires of a cruiser at the police station on Talbot Street in Blenheim at around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said the officers were able to confirm that four tires of a cruiser had been damaged.
A couple of minutes later, officers were called to an alarm at the LCBO on Marlborough Street South in Blenheim.
They were able to identify a suspect in the case by reviewing some surveillance video and managed to track him down about half an hour after the break-in took place.
A 43-year-old Blenheim man was charged with mischief, break-and-enter, and theft. He was taken to police headquarters and was set to be held there pending a bail hearing.
