Two Arrests Over Break and Enter

BY MADELAINE MCNEILL

Two men have been arrested following a break and enter in Lake Macquarie over the weekend.

Officers began investigating reports on Sunday afternoon that a home on Robina Drive at Hillsborough had been broken into and money had been stolen.

Police arrested a 20-year-old man at a home in Mayfield yesterday before searching a Hamilton South property where they recovered a quantity of cash.

A search warrant was then executed at a home in Avery Lane at Buchanan, where they seized items of clothing and more cash before a 22-year-old man was also arrested.

Both men have been granted conditional bail to face court next month, charged with break, enter and steal and knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime.

Inquiries are continuing.
