A Brantford man arrested on Tuesday faces break and enter charges after his DNA was matched to a July break-in.

Police say a man cut open a screen door and broke a glass door to gain entry to a city home at about 10:45 p.m. on July 20.

A necklace and cash were stolen from the home.

The forensic identification unit attended the scene and collected evidence for analysis. That evidence was processed and a suspect was identified through the National DNA Databank.

A 48-year-old Dalhousie Street man is charged with break, enter and theft.

He was held in custody for a bail hearing.
