If at first you don’t succeed, don’t try a second alleged burglary in Armadale

Stonnington Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a woman after officers responded to two alleged aggravated burglaries in Armadale last night.

It is alleged that a woman climbed through a balcony window at a property on Denbigh Road about 7.10pm.

A person home at the time allegedly told the woman to leave before she fled the scene through the front door.

As police arrived, a second incident was reported to Triple Zero, at another address on Denbigh Road.

Officers acted swiftly and headed to the location of the second report.

At the second address it is alleged that a woman gained access to the property after being mistakenly buzzed in by someone home at the time, thinking that the woman was a resident.

Police attended the property and promptly arrested a woman at the scene.

There were no injuries and nothing was stolen.

A 41-year-old St Kilda woman has been charged with two counts of aggravated burglary.

She was bailed to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 19 September.
