Boat break-in suspect nabbed
A 40-year-old Belleville man was arrested after police were called to Meyers Pier around noon, Sunday, for a report of someone breaking into a boat. A family member of a boat owner observed an unknown man walk onto the docked boat and start to rummage around. When the man left the scene, the family member followed and called police to report the incident. Officers arrived a short time later and arrested the suspect nearby. He was charged with break and enter. The man was also found to be on conditions from a previous probation order and subsequently charged with breaching those conditions and held for a show cause hearing on Monday.
