A man who allegedly tried to break into three Brandon businesses was arrested early Monday.
An employee at a business on the 1700 block of 18th Street North reported at around 4:30 a.m. that a man was “actively” trying to get inside the business, the Brandon Police Service said in a news release on Tuesday.
Police said the man was reportedly using tools to gain access through a locked door at the back of the business.

Officers found a 40-year-old man at the scene, and police learned that he had also attempted to break into two other locked businesses in the area, police said.
Police arrested the man, and he was transported to BPS detention cells. Police said the man would be released on an undertaking once sober.
He was charged with possessing break in instruments and three counts of attempting to break and enter. He is scheduled to appear in court in June.
