ACT Policing is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the owners of stolen property seized in Palmerston last week.

About 12pm on Thursday 30 May, members from Gungahlin Police Station attended a residence in Palmerston to arrest a 31-year-old man for breach of bail.

During the arrest, police identified a large quantity of suspected stolen property at the residence, including tools, electronic goods, and coins.

Police believe the property was stolen recently during theft and burglary incidents over the past month.

The man was questioned about the stolen property, however no charges have been laid in relation to these items and investigations are ongoing.

If you think you are the owner of any of these items or know who the owner might be, please contact police on 131 444, quoting reference number 7761746.

There are also simple steps people can take to make it more difficult to steal items such as tools, and to assist police in returning stolen items.

Ensure tools and other valuable items aren’t left unattended or unsecured, cover your tools with the right insurance, record the make, model, and serial numbers of tools, and keep an inventory of your tools and equipment – these measures will assist police to return your items if they do get stolen.
