A man has been arrested in Hamilton after allegedly attempting to steal bedroom furniture from a house.

The 34-year-old man was arrested without incident and will appear in the Hamilton District Court today on burglary charges.
The offender was concerned at the boldness of the offender, who had spent some time removing furniture from the address.
The stolen property will be returned to the victim. The police are grateful to the public who alerted them to the burglary while it was in progress.
