A man arrested last week after a series of break-ins in Sydney has been released on conditions.

The Cape Breton Post reports 22-year-old Douglas William Crane of Albert Bridge will return to court July 12 to enter pleas.

Crane is charged with possession of stolen property, two counts each of assault and uttering threats and 13 counts of breaching court orders.

Three people were forced out of their apartments in a four unit building in Sydney Mines by fire on the weekend.

Only two of the units of the building on Huron Avenue were occupied.  Red Cross volunteers have arranged emergency lodging and supplies.

Nobody was hurt.  No word yet on the cause.
