A man suspected of going on a break-and-enter spree is finally in the arms of the law.

RNC and their police dog rushed to a home in the west end at about 9:30 last night, but the suspect had already fled on foot.

While at the first scene, police got a call of a second break-and-enter nearby. Again, the perpetrator ran off before officers could get their hands on him.

A third incident was called in minutes later when a person was seen in the backyard of a nearby home trying to steal some items. He again fled on foot, but this time, patrol officers caught up with him.

The 47-year-old faces numerous obvious charges as well as breach of court orders.
