A 42-year-old St Helens man has been charged with multiple burglary offences after police recovered more than $100,000 worth of property during targeted searches in St Helens last week.
Officers from St Helens Police seized over 200 items of property that are alleged to have been stolen from houses and garages in the St Helens, Scamander, Binalong Bay and The Gardens areas over the last few weeks.
The man was charged with aggravated burglary, stealing, and unlawful possession of stolen property and was bailed to appear in St Helens Magistates Court on 2 July.
The majority of the property, which includes power tools, fishing equipment, paintings, digital cameras, antique items and an aluminium dinghy on a trailer, has been identified for return to owners, however there are some items that haven’t been identified.
Property owners in the area are urged to check their premises for signs of break in attempts, especially if they have not been home recently.
Anyone with information, particularly CCTV footage of suspicious activity, should contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers Tasmania on 1800 333 000 or at crimestopperstas.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
