A 53-year-old has been charged following a Sault Ste. Marie Police Services investigation into a business break-in reported earlier this year on Third Line West
A 53-year-old man is facing several charges related to a break-in that happened in February.
On Feb. 17, a report of a break-in at a business in the 0-100 block of Third Line West two days earlier prompted an investigation by Sault police officers with the Bail Compliance Unit, Forensic Identification Unit, and Patrol Services.
Police say that, during the break-in, the accused also caused extensive damage and took property from the business.
On April 22, detectives with the Bail Compliance Unit located and arrested the accused.
As a result of the investigation, Amey Roach has been charged with:
Break, Enter a Place – Commit Indictable Offence
Possession of Break In Instruments
Mischief – Over $5,000
Possession of Property Obtained by Crime – Over $5,000
Fail to Comply with Probation Order
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty.
Roach was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
This is not the first time he has been arrested.
In 2024 he pleaded guilty after stealing a Jeep, occupying the vehicle with a firearm, and storing the rifle in a careless manner.
