Man wearing Roman soldier costume arrested after allegedly breaking into home

A man from Perth, Australia, has been arrested after he allegedly broke into a house and changed into a fancy dress costume he found while rummaging through the owner's belongings.

Police said the 32-year-old man entered the house East Perth through an unsecured garage door just before 7:00pm on Friday. The man allegedly stole several items and found a fancy dress costume of a Roman soldier, which he put on.



He ran from the property after being disturbed by the home owner and was caught a short time later by members of the public.

The man has been charged with several offences including aggravated burglary, stealing and possession of tools to break into a house. He is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court.
