Bodden Town police say that a 20-year-old man has been charged with burglary following an offence at a home in Partridge Crescent.

Mitchum Kenjo Wood, of Frank Sound, was arrested a few days after the break-in, which occurred on Friday, 26 June. He was due to appear before the court on Wednesday, 1 July charged with one count of burglary.

Police were alerted to the break-in by the homeowner after she returned from work around 7:00 pm and found a laptop and a camera missing from the house. Following investigations, the laptop was recovered and Mr Wood was arrested.

“Residents are reminded to always have security in mind; never leave windows and doors open and secure all property. Residents should also keep records of serial numbers and take photographs of possessions so they can be easily identified should they be stolen,” the police said in a press release on Wednesday.
