A 28 year old man from Glenorchy has been charged with numerous offences of dishonesty committed throughout the greater Hobart area as well as breach of bail and drug related offences.

On 14 and 15 March members of the Hobart, Kingston and Glenorchy CIB and uniform conducted a number of searches resulting in the recovery of 9 stolen motor vehicles and a large quantity of stolen property.

The man has been remanded to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court at a later date.

“Thieves are often opportunistic, and I urge everyone to be vigilant to prevent being a target of burglary and to report any suspicious activity to police on 131 444 or through Crime Stoppers at crimestopperstas.com.au.” said Detective Senior Constable Tim Keenan.

“The majority of the stolen property has been returned to the owners, however owners are still sought for a number of items.”

“If members of the community believe they are the owner, or know the owner of any of these items, they should contact Hobart CIB on 131 444.”
