Man suspected of two house break-ins detained

A man is suspected of climbing into two units of a building in Taipa in the early morning of last Sunday (Nov. 5) through the outer wall of the building. He was discovered by a member of the household and ran away. He was eventually found in the casino and intercepted by the police. The Public Prosecutions Office said that in order to prevent the suspect from fleeing Macau and continuing to commit crimes, upon the recommendation of the prosecutor in charge, the judge ordered the suspect to be detained. Investigations showed that the man is from the mainland and has a history of burglary, with 15 recorded cases of burglary to his name between last year and October 2023.
