Footprints in snow lead police to break-in suspect

A fresh coating of snow helped London police track down a suspect following a break-in earlier this week.

Police were called to a home on Maitland Street north of Grosvenor Street about a possible break and enter around 11:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The home was found to be "insecure" when officers arrived, police said.

Officers followed footprints left in the freshly fallen snow and arrested a suspect nearby.

A 20-year-old London man is charged with one count of break and enter with intent.

He will appear in court on February 4.
