A MAN will appear in court next year after the aggravated break and enter of a Coledale home today.
The man entered a home in Squires Crescent at Coledale through the rear door about 1.30am on Wednesday.
The man removed several items from the home, and after taking a knife, entered the bedroom of the residents.
The female resident awoke and the armed man demanded property from the couple.
Another adult resident in the home managed to contact police and safely hide a 9-year-old child who was also in the residence.
When police arrived the armed man fled while the officers checked on the welfare of the residents. An 18-year-old man was later found inside a motor vehicle parked outside another home in Squires Crescent. He was arrested without incident and taken to Wollongong Police station.
