North Brisbane Detectives have charged a man following investigations into an alleged break and enter in Wavell Heights on March 8.
Shortly before 6.30pm, three men in a black sedan arrived on Warril Street, got out of the car and approached a house.
Police will allege the men forced entry to the home and confronted two occupants, a woman in her 70s and a man in his 80s, before smashing property and fleeing in the car.
The couple in the house were not physically injured during the incident.
As a result of a public appeal officers took a man into custody at the intersection of Lemke Road and Telegraph Road in Taigum, just before 8pm last night.
A 20-year-old Deagon man has been charged with enter dwelling with intent, wilful damage, possessing dangerous drugs and possessing a knife in a public place.
He is due to appear in Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on March 11.
