A MAN broke into an Ainslie home on March 4, assaulted two residents and attempted to conceal evidence, police allege.
On the evening of March 4, the 35-year-old awoke a sleeping woman and assaulted her, and allegedly assaulted a second woman who had entered the bedroom.
The man then allegedly made threats to the women and forced them to shower and wipe down surfaces, in an effort to conceal forensic evidence.
Following an extensive investigation, including through the examination of forensics evidence from the scene, a 35-year-old man (who was on parole) was identified.
He was located at an address in Sydney, and with the assistance of NSW Police and AFP Eastern Command, he was arrested on Wednesday (May 18).
He is scheduled to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today, facing one count of burglary, two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two counts of forcible confinement, and two counts of threatening a participant in a criminal investigation. Bail will be opposed.
