Two men have been charged following a break-and-enter incident at a farmland property in Abbotsford Tuesday morning.
The Abbotsford Police Department (AbbyPD) says it responded to a property on Interprovincial Highway and Number 3 Road around 7:30 a.m.
Sgt. Paul Walker told 1130 NewsRadio that the homeowner called police after witnessing the incident through home security.
“They had things put in place, such as video cameras and things, to alert them if people were on their property. And that worked well today, providing that information in real time to us,” Walker explained Tuesday.
When officers arrived, they reportedly saw a suspect vehicle trying to flee the area, and police deployed a spike-belt to stop it.
“As a result of that, two men fled that vehicle on foot into neighboring properties that were in the general area. Police dogs were called in to assist our patrol officers and as a result of their actions, two men were located and arrested in that area,” said Walker.
He says another man found in the area was later arrested.
In an update Wednesday, the AbbyPD says two men have now been charged with breaking and entering.
One man is also facing additional charges of dangerous driving, obstructing a peace officer, and flight from police. Police say he remains in custody, pending a court appearance Wednesday, while the other has been released until his next court appearance.
