Police have charged two people over a series of alleged break-ins at businesses in suburbs around Newcastle recently.
The pair was arrested on Monday night after police found them allegedly conducting surveillance on shops at Georgetown.
Checks revealed the man and woman were wanted over a string of alleged break and enter, malicious damage and theft cases at commercial properties in Wallsend, Broadmeadow and Charlestown in recent weeks.
Both were under the supervision of Community Corrections - and the man was on bail - when the alleged offences occurred.
They remain in custody.
