A vacant property at Mount Pleasant has been repeatedly targeted by a burglar who tried every trick in the book to get inside.

Repeated unsuccessful attempts were made to enter the vacant home on Tolcher Street between November 2017 and February 20, 2019.

Would-be thieves tried to force their way in through windows, attempted to break the lock on the back sliding door and even attempted to kick down the front door.

The burglar was able to gain entry eventually, damaging walls, doors, windows and even the bathtub.

No property has been reported as stolen.

It is likely that a significant amount of noise was caused while the attempts to gain entry into the home was being made and the damage was being caused.

Anyone with information linked to this offence is encouraged to contact police as soon as possible.
