A 52-year-old man who turned himself into City of Grosse Pointe police has been arraigned on three charges stemming from one burglary and one attempted break-in.
The 52-year-old Detroit man who turned himself into police days after breaking into Treasure Trove in the Village and attempting to break into the Village Jewelry and Repair shop will appear in the City of Grosse Pointe court again next week.

Questions arose Monday about the lighting requirements for businesses in the Village and council plans to revisit the ordinance outlining such details.
While approving a request Monday for a new awning for the soon-to-be-expanded Treasure Trove, the Grosse Pointe City Council's discussion turned to its sign and sign lighting ordinance and whether businesses are complying. Treasure Trove, an antiques, consignment and estate sale business in the Village, is expanding its retail space into the former Cavanaugh's. Treasure Trove's new 12-foot awning is tan on tan and will cover the vacant spot next door. Council unanimously approved a variance in the length of such awnings, which are normally restricted to 10-feet. But because it does not have lighting shining down on the sign Councilman G. John Stevens questioned whether the city should clarify or amend its design ordinance. The ordinance …
The popular Village consignment and antiques shop has needed the extra room for a long time, its owner says.
Citing his customers’ demand for more consignment sale opportunities, the owner of Treasure Trove is expanding into the store that formerly housed Cavanaugh’s in the Village in downtown Grosse Pointe. Just months after opening Treasure Trove in May 2009, Mason Haddow found he did not have enough room to carry both his own inventory and the merchandise his customers were asking him to sell on a consignment basis.
