A MAN has been charged with 81 offences after a police investigation into burglaries occurring in Carrum Downs.
As part of an investigation into a number of commercial burglaries in the Carrum Downs industrial area, Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives executed a search warrant on Access Way, 26 May. Police say they seized a “large quantity of allegedly stolen property” at the Carrum Downs property.
Police arrested a 39-year-old Carrum Downs man in relation to 81 offences including handle stolen goods, negligently deal proceeds crime, drug possession, and bail offences. He was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates Court on 27 May.
A 22-year-old Carrum Downs woman was also issued a caution in relation to drug possession, and a 17-year-old Seaford male was interviewed in relation to “various offending” and released pending further enquiries.
Victoria Police Detective Senior Constable Christopher Fidler said “this is a pleasing result for detectives where we have located a large quantity of allegedly stolen goods.”
“We are always interested in information from the public in relation to this type of offending,” he said. “If people approach you with tools to sell or car parts and the deal sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
“If anyone has information in relation to goods they believe to be stolen please contact your local police station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
