What was first reported to be an accident on North King Street Monday afternoon was actually a break and enter.
A Bridgewater officer was conducting a routine check of a vacant home at 1561 King Street just after 2 p.m. when he came across what appaeared to be a break and enter in progress.
The constable called for additional officers, who soon had three people in custody.
Reports that a 4th armed man was hiding in the home were determined to be false.
Arrested and charged are two underage females and an adult male.
The accused male will appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court later today.

LOSS OF YARMOUTH FERRY COSTLY TO AREA
Nova Scotia's Opposition Conservatives say tourism operators are suffering following the death last winter of the ferry service that linked the province with Maine.
Chris d'Entremont, the member for Argyle, says statistics he has compiled show that some operators are experiencing 50 per cent lower visitation rates from the United States.
The CAT ferry service died after the province's N-D-P government decided it would no longer provide subsidies to the money-losing service.
Cutting the service has seriously impacted business here on the South Shore and the conservative member of parliament for the area, Gerald Keddy, says the provincial NDP government took the wrong approach to the issue right from the start.
Keddy says: "Without question what the government should have done was agree to continue to help subsidize the ferry for the 2010-11 year and then give the group notice that they would be closing the ferry down after 2011".
The Yarmouth Port Authority is attempting to attract a new ferry service for the area that would be up and running by next summer.

PUBLIC METTINGS ON HIGHWAY 103 TWINNING PUT OFF UNTIL FEBRUARY
It'll be February before public meetings resume on a plan for twinning another section of highway 103.
The transportation department has postponed the meetings to await environmental studies.
Its estimated it will cost 85-million dollars to twin the notoriously dangerous section between exit 5 at Tantallon and 6 in Hubbards.
The twinning project would also include another 10-million dollars for construction of an access road at Boutlier's Point.
That is a particularly sticky issue for residents who fear some homes might be lost to the access road.
