Adelaide homeowner foils burglary attempt

An Adelaide man's quick thinking during a break-in at his home has led to the arrest of two men, police say.

The men are due to face Adelaide Magistrates Court on Thursday after they were arrested inside a Plympton Park home about 1.30am.

The owner had called police and locked himself in his bedroom after he heard someone inside the house.

Officers arrived to find one man inside the house and another man hiding with a knife.

A 29-year-old man from South Plympton and a 30-year-old from Plympton Park have been charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass, theft and carrying an offensive weapon.
