A 39 year old St. Thomas woman has been charged after she was caught on security video footage breaking into her neighbours apartment. The incident began Wednesday afternoon when the accused found a hidden key to another unit in her apartment building. The woman then used the key to enter the apartment where she proceeded to go through drawers, searching the place for valuables. The woman took several small items with her before she left the apartment.
The tenant, who had a home security system set up inside the unit received a video sent to their phone which saw the entire incident recorded on the security system. After reviewing the video and realizing what had happened she brought the recording to police.
The woman was found and as a result was charged with one count Break and Enter and one count Theft Under $5000. She was later released on a Promise to Appear in Court.
