Two men are in custody after police responded to a suspected break and enter at a local storage company Sunday morning.

Several police members and Clive the police dog were on scene just before noon and managed to find both men hiding in the storage compound of The Toy Box, located at Mackenzie Avenue and Murray Drive.

Williams Lake RCMP Const. Andrew Waters said police were able to get on scene quickly thanks to an aware citizen who spotted the suspicious activity and reported it to police.

Toy Box owner Vince Benner, who was on hand during the arrests, said he's thankful to the person who reported the incident and called the break in "unfortunate."

The facility has video surveillance and is surrounded by a six foot fence with barbed wire on top.
