The suspect fled the scene, and after a short foot chase, officers caught up with him. According to police, he resisted arrest and was combative and unco-operative. During the arrest, they said, one officer was assaulted.
The man was taken into custody and charged with three counts of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking, and breaking and entering.
RCMP continue to investigate.
