HALIFAX—A Halifax home faced two break-ins within hours overnight on Tuesday.

Police say officers were first called to a house in the 5000 block of Harvey Street around 6:30 p.m. after one person forced their way into a residence and stole items.

After police continued their investigation off-site, officers were called back to the same residence in the city’s south end at 1 a.m. today.

They were informed the suspects had returned and forced their way in again.

Investigators say a 22-year-old Halifax man was eventually arrested inside the residence, while a 19-year-old man was arrested by officers before he attempted to jump out of a second-storey window.
