A woman is due to face court today after sparking a major police operation at Mayfield.
Police were called to Arnold Street at about 9.30am on Sunday to reports of a break-in unfolding, with a woman allegedly seen running from a home.
Officers arrested a 47-year-old woman nearby following a short foot chase with the assistance of the PolAir helicopter.
She's been charged with 2 counts of break-and-enter with intent to steal, and one count of break, enter and steal.
The woman's been refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today (Monday 22 January, 2024).
