A man was arrested for attempted burglary on Saturday for allegedly breaking in the Etpison residence in Ngerbechedesau, Koror.
Division of Patrol Chief Ismael Aguon said that the arrest of the suspect led to the recovery of pieces of evidence to string of burglaries last week.
Vice President and Justice Minister Elias Camsek Chin did not divulge the name of the suspect pending investigation.
Aguon said that on Jan. 19, Friday at around 10:25 p.m. police got a call involving an attempted break- in at the residence.
Aguon said the suspect was not arrested until the next day after he allegedly jumped from the safety railing of the Etpison compound upon his discovery by the house owners.
The police also did not confirm reports that the suspect had prior arrests in connection with reported burglaries in the past.
Aguon however said that the arrest had removed "a potentially dangerous man off the street."
Aguon said that initial investigation showed that the suspect may be responsible for the two or three reported burglaries last week.
