Fingerprint from 2014 break-in hits a match
Chatham-Kent police have made an arrest after a fingerprint that was collected from the scene of a break-in seven years ago finally hit a match.
Police said they were notified by the RCMP back in June that a fingerprint officers had lifted from the scene of a break and enter at an apartment in Chatham on October 25, 2014 matched one from a former Chatham resident.
As a result, a 29-year-old man from Sarnia was arrested and charged in connection with the case.
He was later released pending a future court date.
