On September 28, just after 2 a.m., Shelburne RCMP responded to a break and enter at a convenience store on Post Office Rd. This was the second report of a break-in at this location in two weeks. Police used a Crime Analyst in addition to other investigative techniques, and identified two suspects. They searched a home on October 3 and arrested the two men without incident. A stolen vehicle from the Annapolis County area, and linked to the two suspects has been recovered as well.

- Possession of Stolen Property
- Break and Enter
- Possession of Break and Enter Instruments
- Wearing a Disguise While Committing a Criminal Offence
- Breach of Probation
- Breach of Recognizance
Both men are appearing in Shelburne Provincial Court today. The investigation is ongoing.
