A MAN arriving back at his Chelsea home saw an unfamiliar utility parked in his neighbour’s driveway, and then saw torchlight in an upstairs bedroom on Friday 14 October at about 10pm.
The man then realised the torches had been switched off when he parked his car in Newington Parade.
He saw a passenger in the ute and noticed the garage door had been propped open, with another man walking from the house back to the ute.
This man is described as Caucasian, aged in his 20s with short hair, tattoos down his left arm, is of slim build and was wearing a black singlet and black tracksuit pants.
The neighbour followed the ute when it drove off but lost sight of it on Nepean Hwy, Chelsea.
Police later found that three bedrooms at the house had been ransacked and jewellery stolen.
