  • Victoria police arrest man for multiple break & enters

Police in Victoria have arrested a man suspected of committing multiple break-and-enters and who has already been detained 12 times this year.

Police say they received a call on Monday morning about a break-and-enter at a residential development, and arrested the male suspect after a brief search of the building.

Police say the suspect is a newcomer to Victoria and had 44 prior contacts with police this year, in addition to having been arrested a dozen times.

The suspect was not named, and now faces outstanding charges for car theft, uttering threats, indecent exposure and sexual assault in addition to multiple break-and-enters.
