A man is facing charges after a “significant quantity of stolen goods” was seized in North Preston, N.S., last week. The RCMP says it worked with loss prevention officers to identify a person of interest linked to thefts from businesses throughout the Halifax Regional Municipality. Officers then executed a search warrant at a home in the 100 block of Simmonds Road last Tuesday. Police say they seized building materials, construction tools, mugs, perfume and alcohol. It is estimated the value of the items exceeds $50,000. A truck believed to have been used in the alleged thefts was also seized. An unnamed 55-year-old man from North Preston was arrested for possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. He was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court at a later date. The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information to call them at 902-490-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
