The Chatham-Kent police have arrested a man in connection with a break and enter in Chatham.
In December 2013, police responded to a break and enter at a residence on Joseph Street. The victim reported that the suspect(s) forced their way into his home causing about $500 damage. Once inside the suspect(s) stole various electronics valued at approximately $3000 and cash. The scene was examined and evidence was seized for forensic analysis.
In March 2014, police received information from The Centre of Forensic Sciences stating that a DNA profile was generated and matched that of a local man. Officers attempted to locate the man, however when unsuccessful, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Yesterday morning, officers located the man on King Street West and he was arrested. Eric Dutcher, 27 years, of Queen Street in Chatham has been charged with break and enter. He was released from custody with conditions pending a future court date.
