Two men are due to front court today (Friday 6 June, 2025) accused of breaking into the Police Training Centre at Mayfield West overnight.
Police responded to an intruder alarm being activated at the centre on Industrial Drive just after 9.00pm on Thursday.
A police dog rounded up two men aged 24 and 26 inside - they allegedly told police they were urban explorers and thought the building was abandoned.
However, it's alleged they were in possession of house breaking implements and items taken from the centre.
They remain in custody ahead of an appearance in Newcastle Local Court today.
Police say it's likely they'll be charged with Aggravated Break and Enter, Possession of House Breaking Implements and Trespassing.
