Three burglars who were caught leaving a building site in Howrah by Police on Thursday morning have been arrested and charged.
The trio was caught red-handed while trying to flee the scene on Fermoy Crescent after allegedly stealing from a house under construction at around 6am yesterday.
The accused, a 51-year-old man, 38-year-old man and a 33-year-old man, all from New Norfolk have been charged with burglary and stealing.
The older men have since been bailed to appear before the court at a later date, while the younger man was detained and appeared before the court last night.
As part of the investigation, Detectives from Bellerive CIB conducted several searches in the New Norfolk area which resulted in property stolen from Howrah being recovered.
Anyone with information relating to burglary or suspicious activity in the area around the time is asked to contact police on 131 444 or report to Crimestoppers.
