LETHBRIDGE, Alta. – A man who police say has a history of property offences is facing theft and other charges after a series of break-ins in Lethbridge, Alta., including one at the city’s courthouse.

The break-ins happened between March and April and also targeted a high school, a dental centre, a credit union and a metal fabrication business.

Police say in most cases, entry was gained by forcing open doors.

Investigators have said that a number of rooms were rummaged during the courthouse break-in earlier this month before money was taken from a cash box in a library.

A suspect who is known to police in Prince George, B.C., was arrested by the RCMP in Jasper, Alta.

Rodney Bruce Prince, who is 57 and of no fixed address, was to appear in a Lethbridge courtroom today.
