Dressed in just his underpants and wielding a didgeridoo, an Adelaide man has chased an intruder from his property leading to a swift arrest.

Kym Abrook woke to noises in his Fulham Gardens home early on Monday, disturbing the thief and chasing him out the door.

He managed to contact police as he ran down the street after, with a police dog helping officers make an arrest soon after.

'I run faster semi-naked' (9News)

“I noticed I run faster naked,” Mr Abrook told 9News.

“Semi-naked anyway, so I might try that… very lucky the cops got there first.”

A 32-year-old man was charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass and theft and was bailed to appear in Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on August 6.

Police alleged he was found in possession of a wallet and cash stolen during the break-in.
