A woman who arrived home to mid-afternoon break-in attempt managed to direct police to the suspect.

Just before 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, police were called by a resident of the 400-block of 11th Street. She said she had just gotten home to find a screen had been removed from a north-side window in her home, and that a woman, the possible culprit, had fled from the yard when she was spotted.

Police quickly tracked down and arrested the suspect, whom they say was highly intoxicated — despite being under several court orders forbidding her from alcohol.

After being kept overnight at the Brandon Correctional Centre, the woman is scheduled to appear in court this afternon, to face charges of breach of undertaking and breach of recognizance.

Charges haven't yet been laid regarding the attempted break and enter. Police say they have to wait until she is sober before they can question her.
