A young offender, well-known to police and already facing a number of charges, is under arrest after homeowners returned home to find their Valour Place home ransacked and a pair of suspects driving away in their other vehicle.

Police located the owners's vehicle nearby and made the arrest after a short foot pursuit.

Charges include possession of stolen property, impaired driving, dangerous driving, fail to stop for police, break and enter and several breaches of his release conditions.

Police say the investigation is continuing and the suspect will be held overnight and appear in court on Sunday.
The suspect cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
