A youth has been charged following investigations into a break-in at Port Lincoln last month.

About 7am the victims were asleep in their Juranda Street home when they woke to find a teenager in their home.

When confronted the suspect fled from the home and caused damage to the victim’s car parked in the driveway.

Thankfully the victims were not physically injured.

This week following an investigation, police arrested a 14-year-old Port Lincoln boy and charged him with serious criminal trespass, theft and property damage.

He was bailed to appear at the Port Lincoln Youth Court.
