Two veteran Sarnia police officers have been arrested after a break-in to an apartment unit Sept 19, Sarnia police announced Wednesday morning.
The break-in took place in the 300 block of Christina Street South just after midnight Friday, police said.
The two officers charged were off duty at the time, police added.
Patrick Nahmabin, 34, and Steven Wyville, 39, both 12-year veterans of the police department, were arrested Tuesday.
They were released from custody and are to appear in court Oct. 21.
Both officers were put on leave and face disciplinary charges under the Polices Services Act.
"At this point these are allegations before the court,” Acting Chief Phil Nelson said in a written statement. “We are extremely disappointed and embarrassed by the notion that two of our members may have been involved in an incident of this nature. Conduct of this type falls far short of the standard expected of a Sarnia police officer."
"I want to reassure the community that the Sarnia police service will not tolerate this type of behaviour from its members" Nelson said.
