OTTAWA — One of two men arrested following a break and enter was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

Police were called to the burglary on Duford Drive around 12:30 p.m. Thursday after a resident witnessed a man kick in the door of a house.

When police arrived they arrested two men who tried to flee the scene.

A stolen pickup truck containing property from past break and enters was also found.

Victor Buglar, 37, and Gerard Desjardins, 55, are charged with break and enter related offences.

Buglar had been wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

Police believe Buglar is behind up to 20 other break and enters in the Ottawa area since December.

Buglar appeared in court Friday.

Desjardins was released on a promise to appear.
