Windsor police have arrested one suspect and continue to search for a second after a stolen excavator was used to break into a bingo hall.
Police responded to the break-in at Paradise Bingo in the 2300 block of Dougall Avenue around 5 a.m. Monday.

Police obtained security footage from the scene that showed the suspects and the vehicle involved. Officers were able to quickly find the vehicle, a red Ford F-150 truck in the 900 block of McKay Avenue.
Police arrested Michael Christopher Bernard a short time later. The 42-year-old Amherstburg man has been charged with breaking and entering and theft over $5,000.
Police have released a photo of the second suspect, Shawn Damsgard, 43, who is still outstanding. He is wanted for breaking and entering and theft over $5,000.
