One held after break-in at Linden teacher’s home

By Staff Editor Sat, November 14 2026, 2:02 AM GMT-4

A 45-year-old labourer is in police custody following a break-in on Thursday at the home of a teacher at Redwood Crescent, MacKenzie, Linden.

Police said yesterday that the 54-year-old teacher’s son, 16, had secured the house before leaving for school. When he returned, he found the front door open and several household items packed inside.

The teenager was trying to secure the door when a man he had seen near the premises approached him, police said. He raised an alarm and neighbours came out to help.

Police subsequently apprehended the labourer, who is from Low Kara-Kara, MacKenzie. Investigators said they would review footage from cameras in the area. The suspect remains in custody.
