Couple arrested after shed break - Morphett Vale

About 2.45am on Wednesday 22 January, a resident in McMahon Road alerted police after seeing two people with torches going through a rear shed.

Southern District patrols quickly responded and located a man and woman hiding in the rear yard.

A number of tools had been removed from the shed in readiness to be taken.

A 25-year-old man from Hackham and a 25-year-woman from Salisbury Downs was charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass and theft.
