A Fort St. James man has been arrested after a break and enter at a local business earlier this month, according to a RCMP news release.

On Thursday, Oct. 14 at 5:11 a.m., police responded to a report of a break report and enter in the 200 block of Douglas Avenue.

The 26-year-old is alleged to have gained entry by forcing a door open and fleeing with a cash register containing a small amount of cash.
