Police have charged a woman following a break-in at a Birkdale home early this morning.
The burglary unfolded just after 3am.
Acting Inspector CJ Miles, Acting °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ East Area Prevention Manager, says the occupant moved to safety and called Police straight away.
¡°She reported loud bangs and smashing sounds inside the property,¡± she says.
¡°Our staff arrived at the scene on Vandeleur Avenue and entered the property to make it safe.¡±
An 18-year-old woman was inside the house and was arrested.
No items had been stolen as a result.
¡°This would have been an alarming incident to happen at any point of time, let alone in the early hours when people are sleeping,¡± Acting Inspector Miles says.
The woman arrested will appear in the North Shore District Court today, charged with burglary.
