An Australian man allegedly caught snooping around a building site is accused of trying to pretend he was a statue when police arrived at the scene.
Patrols were called to the site at South Plympton, south of the Adelaide CBD, just before 3.30am Thursday morning, after a security company reported a person walking around inside with a torch.
When officers arrived, they cordoned off the area and called in a police dog patrol.
"PD Judge and his handler searched the site, locating a man inside one of the apartments pretending to be a statue," SA Police said.
The man, a 29-year-old from Seaton, was arrested and charged with being unlawfully on premises.
