A drug bust in Deseronto has led to a break for police investigating breakins and thefts in Belleville and other local communities..
Three people were arrested by the O-P-P after a marijuana grow operation, cocaine and thousands of dollars worth of stolen property were found at a home on Mill Street on November 18th.
A fourth person, 29-year-old Michael McKeown of no fixed address, has since been arrested, and faces numerous charges, including six counts of possession of stolen property and drug offences.
Police now say some of the property recovered came from a 127-thousand-dollar breakin in at Sam the Record Man in Quinte Mall last summer, Small World Baby, Foxboro I-G-A, Richard Davis in Picton and residential breakins in Belleville, Picton and Deseronto.
