A person charged after fleeing police in the Kapuskasing area yesterday is facing new charges.

James Bay OPP has charged a 32-year-old after a break and enter in Kapuskasing. 

Police said the break-in that caused damage at an Ottawa Street residence happened sometime between Oct. 12 at 9 p.m. and Oct. 13 at 7 a.m.
