There was some swift action against a Halifax-area man charged in connection with a theft at a business in St. Peter's.

32-year-old Andrew Benn of Sackville was charged with theft, possession of stolen property and breach of undertakings after Tuesday's incident.

Police say 2 men stole a number of items from the business and took off toward Port Hawkesbury.

Officers arrested 2 men shortly after and seized their vehicle.

Benn was handed 2 consecutive sentences of 30 days for the theft and breach charges after he pleaded guilty in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Wednesday.

The possession charge was withdrawn.

Charges of theft and possession against a second man were also withdrawn.
