A neighbour’s quick action led to the arrest of the 20-year-old woman after he heard suspicious noises coming from his neighbour’s home.
The neighbour-turned-informant told Wentworth police he heard a car park outside and doors banging. Minutes later he heard more noise coming from the outside building.
