On Saturday, Sault police officers charged a 25-year-old woman in connection with a break and enter that happened in September.
The break and enter was reported to 911 on Sept. 27, at a unit within a multi-unit residential building in the 600 block of Second Line West.
"An investigation revealed the accused broke into the unit of a victim who is known to them and stole several items. A warrant was obtained for their arrest," police said in a news release.
Around 2 a.m. on Nov. 1, officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in the area of Wellington Street West and Carmen's Way. Upon speaking with the driver, officers could see the passenger had an open container of alcohol.
Officers conducted a search of the vehicle under the Liquor Licence and Control Act.
A search of the passenger—identified as the accused—located 2.48 grams of suspected cocaine and 0.5 grams of suspected MDMA. The accused was arrested on outstanding warrants and additional drug charges.
