Two men were arrested today in connection with a recent crime series in Mount Gambier. At 7am on Tuesday 21 October a Mount Gambier business was broken into and a white 2013 Ford Falcon utility was stolen. The vehicle was located by police in Doughty Street, Mount Gambier at about 9.15am that morning, loaded with furniture, electrical appliances and other household items stolen from a newly opened display home in Hume Court.

The arrested man was charged with two counts of aggravated serious criminal trespass, two counts of theft and illegal used. A 25-year-old Mount Gambier man sought by investigators was located walking on Bay Road, Mount Gambier this afternoon.
