1 min read

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.
