Two men from Fortune have been arrested and charged following a break-in and theft from a home in the community earlier this month.

Burn Peninsula RCMP say the suspects gained entry into the property while the owner was away and stole a number of tools and other household items.

Forty-six-year-old Aaron Rose was arrested on November 4, while 31-year-old Bradley Thorne was arrested early on the morning of November 5.

Police have recovered an amount of stolen property. Both men are charged with break and enter and possession of stolen property. The pair have been released to appear in court November 30.

The investigation continues.
