On March 5, 2026, the Kingston Police arrested a man following a break-in at the Cataraqui Cemetery in Kingston, Ontario. Staff members at the cemetery discovered that a building on the property had been forced open at approximately 7:00 a.m. and immediately called for help.
Officers arrived at the scene and began searching for the suspect who had fled on foot. A police dog named Juice and his handler, Cst. Paquette, tracked the person through the area. They successfully located and arrested the suspect at 7:35 a.m., just 35 minutes after the initial report was made.
A 48-year-old resident of Kingston faces several charges including breaking and entering with intent, having tools for a break-in, and mischief under $5,000. The individual was also charged with breaking the conditions of their probation.
Kingston Police Chief Adam MacIntosh said the quick arrest showed how different police units can work together to keep the community safe. This incident has raised concerns among local neighbours and business owners about the security of their property in the area.
