Alleged SA burglar falls through roof

A man has been charged after falling 6m through a roof during an alleged break-in at a business in Adelaide.

The 22-year-old remains in hospital with suspected broken ribs after landing on a filing cabinet in Hindmarsh early on Friday morning, police say.

He will appear in Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on July 26 charged with serious criminal trespass, property damage and breach of bail.

The intruder and police were exposed to asbestos from the broken ceiling but it's considered to be low risk.
