Halton Regional Police say a man has been arrested after allegedly breaking into a Burlington restaurant early Saturday and helping himself to a few drinks.

Police said an alarm went off at a Kelsey’s restaurant near Guelph Line and Fairview Street around 5:20 a.m.

When officers arrived at the restaurant, they found the front door had been broken with a rock and heard a lone person yelling inside, police said.

A man then came to the front door with a drink in his hand and was arrested without incident, officers said.

Police said it’s believed the suspect broke into the restaurant, consumed alcohol and smashed some bottles.
