Two men will face the ACT Magistrates court on charges arising from a burglary at a construction site in Greenway early this morning, 26 April.

About 3.25am, ACT Policing received a report that two men had illegally entered a construction site in Anketell Street, Greenway through a fence.

Police will allege the men forced entry into an on-site office, and attempted to steal items including power tools, radios, a charging station, and a microwave oven.

Officers arrested the two men about 3.55am as they attempted to leave the construction site via the gap they had previously cut in the security fence.

One man, a 56-year-old from Monash, has been charged with two counts of aggravated burglary with intent to commit theft and one count of joint commission of theft.

The other man, a 49-year-old from Wanniassa, has been charged with aggravated burglary with intent to commit theft and joint commission of theft.
