Dunedin Police recover large amount of stolen property
A large amount of stolen property was recovered by Dunedin Police today, following the execution of a search warrant at a Brockville address.
The recovered property is believed to have been stolen in residential burglaries that have taken place in Dunedin over the last few months.
Police also located a firearm, a small amount of drugs, and drug utensils at the address.
Two men, aged 28 and 40, have been charged with burglary and firearms offences, and will appear in Dunedin District Court on Wednesday 27 June.
Constable Kylie Batten says Police are really pleased to have recovered so much stolen property.
“Over the next few weeks we hope to be able to return some of the property to the victims of some of these burglaries,” Constable Batten said.
“Having your home entered and having your property stolen is a huge invasion and can be extremely upsetting for victims.”
“To be able to return property to people, especially when that property has a great deal of meaning to its owner, is really satisfying.”
Police will now undertake enquiries to establish where each item recovered has come from. This process is expected to take several weeks.
