Three people have been charged after police recovered more than $130,000 worth of stolen property.
Detectives from Northern Criminal Investigation Branch arrested a 22-year-old Kings Meadows man, a 28-year-old Mowbray man, and a 43-year-old Mowbray woman last week in relation to a recent series of burglaries in the northern suburbs of Launceston during which vacant residences and unlocked motor vehicles were targeted.
During a subsequent search of a residence at Mowbray police seized the stolen property.
They have each since been charged with aggravated burglary, possession of stolen property, stealing, trespass, and burglary and bailed to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court at a later date.
Tasmania Police reminds the community to ensure residences and vehicles are secure when left unattended, to deter opportunistic crime.
Anyone with information should contact police on 131444 or anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestopperstas.com.au.
