A month-long investigation into a break-and-enter at a business in Abbey has resulted in the arrest of an adult male.

A Saskatchewan RCMP news release says 42-year-old Cody Kemick of Tompkins appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court this past Friday after being arrested at a residence in Tompkins the day before.
