Homeless man living in unit while owners away

A HOMELESS man has been accused of illegally living in a Kingston apartment for several weeks while its owners were away. 

Police had received a complaint from the owners that someone had attempted to access their bank account with documentation that was inside the home.

An investigation revealed an illegal trespasser had been residing in the premises.

Around 10.30am yesterday morning, police saw a man leaving the location.

The man attempted to run from police but was arrested shortly after.

The man was found in possession of items believed to be stolen from the home.

The 33 year old was arrested and will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning charged with trespassing, burglary, going equipped for theft and being in possession of stolen property.
