METEGHAN CENTRE, N.S. - Police in Nova Scotia have charged a man and a woman in the theft of 54 anchors.

RCMP say the anchors were stolen overnight on Oct. 9 from a business in Meteghan Centre, about 210 kilometres southwest of Halifax.

A news release from the Mounties says the anchors were worth about $11,000 and the theft was reported on Thursday morning.

Investigators identified a "vehicle of interest," which they managed to find and flag down later that morning.

The release says officers arrested the car's occupants — a 45-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman — and charged them with theft over $5,000.

Police say the anchors were recovered at a scrapyard in Yarmouth, N.S.
