If you're going to break into a building, it's probably best that it not be police headquarters.
London police say they tasered a man who was allegedly caught breaking into their headquarters on Dundas St.
The man was first seen breaking the front window of a store at 437 Adelaide St. and then hitting the door of a second building around the corner at 1am Thursday. Shortly after that, the man moved on to the police station at 601 Dundas St.
Using a bicycle chain, the man hit the glass exit door on the north side of the building until it shattered and then tried to get inside, according to police.
Officers used a taser on the man when he refused to drop the chain.
A 29-year-old Stratford man is charged with break and enter with intent, possession of a weapon, and two counts of mischief under $5,000. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
Damage is estimated at $3,000. The broken door at the police station has since been boarded up.
