A man then allegedly fled from the roof cavity of the home, and police initiated a foot pursuit.

He was arrested at a nearby home and charged with break, enter and steal, intimidation, trespass, malicious damage and breach of bail offences.

He was refused bail to face Maitland Local Court on Tuesday.

More charges are expected to be laid.
