Cannington detectives have charged a 34-year-old man over a burglary in Victoria Park on Sunday.
About 12:10am, detectives were patrolling the Victoria Park area when they were sent to investigate an alarm at a shopping centre on Albany Highway.
A canine unit was also deployed.
Upon arrival, the officers found a glass panel had been smashed near one of the entrances, and entered the building.
Inside the shopping centre they heard a smashing noise, and a short time later located a jewellery store which had a damaged front door.
A cutting tool and an axe had been used to gain entry.
With noise still being heard inside the store, the dog handler told the person inside to exit the store slowly.
He climbed back out through the door and was arrested.
He appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Sunday and was refused bail.
He is next due to appear in the same court on Monday October 23.
