Hampton RCMP said the call came in at about 11:06 a.m. on July 24, when individuals were seen looking through vehicles at a business on Route 124.
Police said the three people ran into a wooded area when officers arrived, and multiple stolen items were found at the scene.
According to RCMP, additional support was brought in from the Grand Bay‑Westfield, Hampton and Sussex detachments, along with the Police Dog Service and a drone unit.
A 40‑year‑old woman was arrested without incident.

She was released on bail under house‑arrest conditions.
