When they arrived, police allege they found a 36-year-old man who attempted to flee the scene on foot before he was arrested shortly afterwards.
Police allege the man was found with equipment used to break and enter and that a stolen vehicle was found nearby.
Officers claim they arrived on scene before the man was able to take anything from the premises.
The man was arrested after a struggle with officers and taken to Maitland Police Station, where he was charged with break, enter and steal; drive conveyance taken without consent of owner; resisting arrest and assaulting police.
He will appear at Maitland Local Court on May 24.
