A 28-year-old man from Sussex Corner, N.B., has been charged in connection to a slew of offences in the community, according to the RCMP.

Police say they responded to a report of a break and enter in progress at a business on Léonard Drive on Jan. 14.

They arrested Kyle Truchon in connection to the investigation, but he was later released pending a future court appearance.

Police later received a call of another beak and enter on Mar. 5, this time at a home on O’Connell Street in Sussex. Police found and arrested Truchon in connection to the incident on Mar. 31.

Truchon appeared in provincial court in Saint John on Apr. 7, where he was charged with one count of break and enter for the incident on Mar. 5. He was released on conditions, which included house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor.

Police say they received a notification that Truchon was in breach on his conditions on Saturday. The next day, police executed a search warrant at a home in Sussex Croner where they arrested Truchon.

During the search, police reportedly seized a loaded handgun, what was believed to be methamphetamine, and $5,700 in counterfeit $100 bills.

Truchon was remanded into custody pending a court appearance.

He appeared once again in provincial court on Monday where he was charged with:

• unauthorized possession of a firearm
• possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm without a license
• unsafe storage of a firearm
• possession of counterfeit money

Truchon was remanded into custody and is set to reappear in court on Thursday for a bail hearing.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.
