Man Arrested After Alleged Crime Series Across Adelaide’s Northern Suburbs - Adelaide, SA
Smart summary
Police have arrested a man following an investigation into a series of alleged offences across Adelaide’s northern suburbs.
A 31-year-old man from Davoren Park has been charged following a police investigation into a series of alleged offences across Adelaide’s northern suburbs.
Police allege the offences occurred between 3 September and 16 September, with investigators examining a number of reported thefts and break-ins during that period. The investigation was conducted by Northern District police, who subsequently linked the alleged offending to the Davoren Park man.
One of the incidents under investigation allegedly involved an assault at a shopping centre on Peachey Road in Munno Para on 3 September. Police allege that a member of the public was assaulted with a rubber mallet during the incident.
Investigators continued working to establish links between the reported offences and identify the person they believed was responsible. The investigation eventually led police to a unit complex in Salisbury North on the afternoon of 17 September.
At about 4:50pm, officers attended the complex to locate the man. Police allege that when officers arrived, he attempted to avoid arrest by climbing over a rear fence. Officers quickly apprehended him and took him into custody.
The man was subsequently charged with two counts of serious criminal trespass, affray, nine counts of theft, illegal interference with a motor vehicle and driving while disqualified.
Police refused bail, and the man appeared before the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Friday, 18 September.
As part of the investigation, police also recovered a Honda CR-V that was allegedly stolen during the series of offences. The vehicle is expected to undergo forensic examination as investigators continue examining evidence connected with the alleged offending.
Police are also seeking assistance to identify the man who was allegedly assaulted during the Munno Para shopping-centre incident. Anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken with police is being asked to provide information to investigators.
The investigation highlights the work being undertaken by police across Adelaide’s northern suburbs to connect separate reported incidents and identify alleged offenders. Investigators may continue examining evidence from the various locations involved in the case, including the recovered vehicle.
The charges remain allegations and have not been proven in court. The accused person will have the opportunity to respond to the charges through the judicial process.
Police are continuing to appeal for information from members of the public who may have witnessed the alleged assault at the Munno Para shopping centre or have other information relevant to the investigation.
The case is now before the courts, while investigators continue their work into the alleged series of offences across Adelaide’s northern suburbs.
