Army General Staff burglar charged, faces two years

A man who was caught on camera burgling the Army General Staff building in July has been charged with attempted robbery and wilful damage to property. If convicted he will face up to two years in prison. Police were notified of the man’s identity by his wife, who recognised him on televised security camera footage. While some media at the time of the burglary suspected the involvement of foreign spies, nothing was stolen from the building and only several doors were damaged. The incident resulted in the Military Police reassuming the task of monitoring the building.
