Police locate stolen goods

On Thursday 28 December 2017, members from ACT Policing’s Criminal Investigations Team, with the assistance of the AFP National Canine Team, executed a search warrant at a storage facility in the ACT after receiving a tip off from the public in relation to recent drug arrests.

During the warrant police located a large amount of what they believe to be stolen commercial goods including dishwashers, air conditioners, ovens and household fixtures. Police estimate the value to be approximately $100,000.00.

Some of the items have been linked to recent burglaries at construction sites. Enquiries are continuing in relation to the other suspected stolen goods.

Police also located commercial grade fireworks and a large amount of ammunition.

The Criminal Investigations Team expect to lay further charges in relation to the warrant.
