Man offers ‘apology beer’ after drunken break-in attempt at Halifax apartment
HALIFAX — An attempted break-in at a Halifax apartment has resulted in an unexpected apology — and a six-pack of “apology beer.”
Caitlynne Hines said a drunk man attempted to enter her north end apartment on May 5, insisting a friend was staying at the apartment upstairs.
After she sent him on his way, the man returned a few minutes later and attempted to pick the apartment’s lock. When that didn’t succeed, the man left again.
“We didn’t call the police, but we were prepared to if he came back again,” wrote Hines in a Facebook message to Global News.
