Kojonup man to face court over alleged burglary at Woodanilling General Store and Post Office

A 38-year-old Kojonup man has been arrested by police for allegedly breaking into the Woodanilling General Store and Post Office and stealing $800. Police say they arrested the man last Tuesday night after finding his DNA during a forensic examination of the scene after the burglary. Katanning police Sgt Simon Barnett said the 38-year-old allegedly forced his way into the store overnight on June 18. While inside, police will allege the man tried to break into two office safes. He managed to force his way into a cash draw and steal $800, Sgt Barnett said. Police released the man on bail after his arrest last week. He is due to appear at the Katanning Magistrate’s Court on October 6. “If any members of the public have information relating to this alleged offence, please get in touch with Katanning police or Crime Stoppers,” Sgt Barnett said.
