A Thamesville man faces charges after allegedly breaking into a home and stealing money from a purse.
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials say on Monday, November 6 at 10:30 a.m. a man entered a house in Thamesville through an unlocked door.
Police allege as he began going through the contents of a woman’s purse, the homeowner entered the room and observed the man drop money from the purse and put in his pocket.
The homeowner allowed the man to leave his house without a confrontation, as he knew him, police say.
Once the suspect was gone, the police were called.
Stolen from the woman’s purse was $50.
Yesterday at 8:30 p.m. officers attended the man’s residence.
A 27-year-old Thamesville man was arrested and charged with break and enter and theft under $5,000.
He was transported to Chatham-Kent Police Service Headquarters where he was later released with a court date of November 28, 2017.
