A local man will appear before the Magistrates’ Court tomorrow morning after being charged with one count of Going Equipped for Stealing.

Ben Brown, 18, resident in the South District, was arrested at 0140 this morning by Response Team officers.

His arrest came after members of the public told patrolling police officers that they had seen a person acting suspiciously in the area of Queensway Quay. 

On police arrival, officers found Brown in the area, who upon seeing the officers, is alleged to have discarded items including a crow bar on the floor.

He was arrested and later charged with Going Equipped for Stealing.

He will remain at New Mole House overnight until his appearance before the Magistrates’ Court at 1000 tomorrow morning.
