FORT FRANCES — Rainy River OPP arrested three individuals following a break-and-enter early Sunday morning.

OPP officers were dispatched to a Fort Frances address shortly after 1 a.m. and observed signs that someone other than the owner had recently been inside the residence.

As a result of the investigation, police arrested a 45-year-old local resident for breaking-and-entering and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

He was held in custody and appeared before Fort Frances Bail Court on Monday.

In addition, OPP charged a 37-year-old woman, also from Fort Frances, and a 26-year-old Emo resident for possessing property obtained by a crime under $5,000.

They were both released from custody and are scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice of Fort Frances in March.

Police ask residents with information regarding this incident to call 1-888-310-1122, anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous message online.
