Man charged over 13 NSW break-ins

A man accused of breaking into a host of schools, shops, clubs and factories in southern NSW has been arrested.

Police said the 33-year-old led officers on a chase shortly after a break-in at Goulburn school, before abandoning his ute and fleeing on foot.

A number of items from the school were found in the vehicle, and follow-up investigations revealed stolen items from a private home and a hotel in Goulburn.

The man was arrested on Friday morning after allegedly breaking into a premises on Blackshore Rd.

Police believe he is connected to a number of other break-ins in Goulburn since April 3, including at a child care centre, an art gallery and petrol stations.

He has been charged with 13 break and enter offences, larceny, driving whilst disqualified and two counts of possessing a prohibited drug, and will appear in Goulburn Bail Court on Saturday.
