Two teenagers have been arrested in the roof of a home after an alleged month-long series of property offences.

Police located the 18 and 19-year-old while executing a search warrant at a home in Inala, south of Brisbane, about 9.30pm on Tuesday.

Bodycam footage of the arrest shows police entering the home and climbing a ladder into the roof cavity.

The two men are then seen laying on the support beams and insulation in the home before being handcuffed and led back out of the home by officers.

Police allege the pair committed property offences in two dozen suburbs across Brisbane and Moreton Bay between August 8 to September 11.

The younger man was charged with 35 alleged offences, while the older was charged with 46.

Among the alleged offences are common assault, entering a dwelling whilst armed and a number of charges relating to breaking and enter. Both were refused bail.

The younger will appear before Brisbane Magistrates on September 24. The older is expected to front the same court on October 16.
