The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested a mainlander on Wednesday for breaking into a non-resident workers’ flat in a high-rise residential building in Nape, PJ spokeswoman Lei Hon Nei said in a special press conference yesterday.
According to Lei, the suspect is a 38-year-old man surnamed Yu who has a criminal record for burglaries on the mainland where he served a six-year prison term until 2015.
The burglary happened in the early hours of Wednesday in Rua de Londres. A non-resident worker was sleeping in his bedroom when he was awakened at 6 a.m. by a flatmate who told him that a male stranger had just left the flat through the front door, Lei said.
