A 61-year-old Laven­tille man was ar­rest­ed in re­la­tion to a break-in at a fur­ni­ture store in down­town Port-of-Spain ear­ly on Tues­day morn­ing.

Po­lice said the man and his ac­com­plice were seen pulling items through bur­glar-proof­ing at a store on Hen­ry Street, at 4.42 am.

Ac­cord­ing to the man, one of the men was re­mov­ing the items while the oth­er placed them in an or­ange bag.

The man called the po­lice and of­fi­cers of the In­ter Agency Task Force (IATF), and found one of the men with an or­ange bag con­tain­ing two sheet sets.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the bur­glar proof­ing was pried open and a glass win­dow bro­ken to gain ac­cess.
