A 47-year-old man from Moncton, N.B., has been charged following a break and enter at business in the community.
On September 18, 2022, shortly after 7:30 a.m., members of the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to an alarm at a business on St. George Street. When police arrived at the scene, it was quickly determined that an individual had forced their way inside the building and that several items had been stolen.
A 47-year-old man was located nearby and arrested without incident. During the arrest, police seized a number of items in the man's possession, including an angle grinder which matched the description of a similar tool that had been reported stolen to police.
On September 19, Matthew Alexander Buck appeared in Moncton Provincial Court by way of tele-remand and was charged with break and enter and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to return to court on September 22, at 13:30 p.m., for a bail hearing.
