POLICE are charging a 37-year-old man with burglary and multiple driving offences following his arrest in Amaroo last night (August 21).
They allege that at about 3pm, August 4, a house in Bonner was broken into and a black bag was stolen. A man was seen leaving the property in a black BMW SUV that matched the description of a vehicle reported stolen while defrosting unattended from a driveway on August 1.
However, they say the registration plates on the BMW matched those stolen from a Toyota Corolla in Mawson on August 2.
On August 8, CCTV footage allegedly showed the man driving a blue Honda Civic that had been reported stolen while defrosting from Franklin earlier that morning.
The man will face charges including:
- Burglary
- Using a plate or label calculated to deceive
- Two counts of driving a motor vehicle without consent
- Two counts of driving while disqualified
