RCMP from New Minas and Kentville Police have arrested two adult males allegedly involved in a series of daytime break, enter and thefts in area homes over the past few months.

Acting on information from the public and through the course of their investigation, police arrested the pair of Kings County men Tuesday. One accused appeared in court Wednesday in Kentville charged with several counts of break, enter and thefts.

A second man is currently in RCMP custody with charges of break, enter and theft pending.

Search warrants were executed at two residences in Kings County. Seized from those residences was an excess of $10,000 in stolen property.

RCMP Cst. Les Kakonyi says the investigation is ongoing with further charges anticipated. The General Investigation Section and Street Crime Enforcement Unit are working on the case.
