Officers were able to recover the stolen items in less than 24 hours after they executed a search warrant at a home in North Grenville. A 41-year-old man was arrested at the scene.

He has been charged with break and enter to commit an indictable offence, possession of property obtained by crime – over $5000 and possession of property obtained by crime – under $5000.

He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

The investigation is ongoing.
