Burglar’s dare comes undone

A MAN arrested and charged in relation to a burglary in Clyde allegedly left the novel Catch Me if You Can on the dining room table of one of the homes he’d broken into.
The man is believed to have been involved in at least two burglaries in recent weeks, including one in Clyde last month and one in Oakleigh South on Tuesday 2 June.
There was a total of $4000 in property stolen from both addresses.
The Dandenong man has been slapped with 24 charges and remanded in custody after police arrested him at a Grandview Avenue house on Wednesday 3 June.
Narre Warren police have alleged that during one of the raids the raider took the book Catch Me if You Can from a book shelf and placed it on a dining room table before fleeing the scene.
