A Victoria Police K9 unit helped arrest a man in Fairfield on Wednesday night after two attempted break-ins.

Around 8:15 p.m., a man broke into a home in the 500-block of Linden Ave. by forcing open a back door.

The resident was at home, and was able to force the man to leave before calling police.

Officers deployed their service dog, Havoc.
