Two people from Fort Erie are facing charges after police responded to a break and enter in progress.
A K9 team directed officers away from the initial area of Catherine and Aberdeen Street to a home in the Lavinia and Douglas Street area around 4 a.m. yesterday morning.
An investigation led to the arrest of a suspect and the execution of a search warrant at the home.
During the search officers say they discovered stolen property linked to multiple break and enters over the last few months and a prohibited weapon.
Two residents, 40 year old Greg Tarantini and 40 year old Dawn Russo, have been charged with possession of property obtained by crime and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Tarantini is also facing charges of break and enter and failing to comply with a release order.
Detectives anticipate further charges to be laid related to break and enters in the Fort Erie area.
