A man has been charged in connection with an alleged aggravated burglary in Co Kerry early on Sunday morning.

At 1.45am, a man armed with knives entered a property on Tralee's Chapel St and threatened the occupants of the house with the knives, gardaí said.

Some damage was caused to the property during the incident, but no injuries were reported. The man later fled the scene.

After responding to the incident, gardaí located the man a short distance from the property. A number of items taken from the property were also recovered by gardaí.

The man, aged in his 20s, was arrested under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 and has since been charged.

He is due to appear before Killarney District Court on Monday.
