Two men have been charged in relation to the break and enter of an auto accessories retail store at Nerang in the early hours of this morning.
Just after 1am a security patrol responded to an alarm at the Spencer Road premises. The security guard observed offenders on the site and called police.
Police attended and cordoned the area. A police dog and his handler entered the premises.
One of the men attempted to flee and was detained by the police dog. He sustained a minor bite to his ankle. The second offender surrendered to police without incident.
A 41-year-old man from no fixed place of abode and a 44-year-old man from Red Hill have been co-jointly charged with enter premises with intent.
Both men will face Southport Magistrates Court today.
