Startled occupants of an Upper Prince Street residence were awakened this morning as Charlottetown City Police arrested a man caught in the process of breaking into their home.
The incident happened at approximately 6:50 a.m. this morning when the Charlottetown Police Services Street Crime Unit arrested a 29-year-old Charlottetown man and his 21 year-old accomplice.
The occupants of the residence, who were asleep at the time, were awakened by police during the arrest in their home.
Investigators say the older suspect cut a window screen to gain entrance to the dwelling while his accomplice acted as a lookout nearby.
The two males were lodged at the Correctional Centre and will be brought before a Justice of the Peace later today.
