Witness helps police nab break and enter suspects

A man and woman from Petrolia are charged in connection with a break and enter to a home being renovated in the 1100 block of Guthrie Drive East.

On Monday around 1:30 p.m., Sarnia police said a teenage witness saw two people load a pick-up truck with a table saw and leave the area.

The witness was able to gather a description of the suspects along with the license plate of the truck.

Shortly after, Sarnia police were called to a disturbance on Phillip Street East where they found a vehicle matching the description with a table saw in the back.

Two people were arrested.
