A break-and-enter in Colborne has led to the arrest of a 41-year-old Peterborough man.
Northumberland OPP say officers were called on Saturday after a homeowner reported discovering a person who appeared to be passed out inside a sunroom portion of their home. The person came to and became agitated, breaking items in the room, and was confrontational with the homeowner, while brandishing what appeared to be a metal rod.
The accused fled on foot but was taken into custody a short-time later.
