On arrival, police saw two boys running from the rear of the premise through the fence and apprehended them a short distance from the house.
Both boys were arrested and taken to Tuggeranong Police Station for interview’s and later released into custody of their parents.
Police entered the house with the owners who had returned from Cooma, NSW where they had been staying.

Police suspect the boys had been squatting in the house for a number of days.
