A 30-year-old Moncrieff man has been charged after allegedly breaking into a Bonner residence and stealing an electric scooter.

About 1:30pm on June 1st, the man allegedly broke into the residence, before leaving with an electric scooter worth approximately $800.

Following investigations and a fingerprint located at the scene, an alleged offender was identified, with police conducting a traffic stop on a white Suburu Outback on Sunday morning.

Officers observed the 30-year-old man lying across the back seat of the vehicle and found a knife, black gloves, a torch and scissors in the mans backpack and identified him as the alleged offender.

He is due to face the ACT Magistrates Court today, charged with burglary and theft.
