Quick action from a Canberra resident and police has trapped a red-faced burglar inside a house.
After the 41-year-old man allegedly broke into the house in suburban Ainslie early on Monday morning, the home owner locked herself in the bathroom and rang police.
Officers arrived within minutes and cordoned off the house.
They called out to the man to come out and when he refused, they entered the house and found him hiding behind a door in the laundry.
The man, who is also from Ainslie, has been charged with burglary and other offences.
