Arrest in Hamilton East indecent assault

A 20-year-old man has been arrested in relation to an incident at a residence in Hamilton East overnight on 11 February. 
 
The man will appear in Hamilton District Court today on charges of indecent assault and burglary. 
 
It appears that the man entered the property through an unlocked door at around 3am, while the residents were asleep.   
 
As the matter is now before the court no further information can be provided at this stage, however this incident is a timely reminder to make sure that all doors and windows are secured overnight.
