Police have released CCTV footage as they continue to investigate an aggravated break and enter at a home in the state's Riverina earlier this year.
Between 5pm on Monday 3 October 2022 and 7am on Tuesday 4 October 2022, a granny flat at a rural property on Scott Street, Moorong, near Wagga Wagga, was broken into, with a vehicle, three firearms and around $60,000 worth of jewellery stolen.
Officers attached to Riverina Police District were notified and established a crime scene, which was forensically examined, and an investigation commenced.
The vehicle – a 2000 model silver Toyota Camry sedan – was recovered near the intersection of Edward and Pearson Streets, Wagga Wagga, about 8.30am the same day.
Following inquiries, a .22 calibre bolt action rifle was located on Travers Street, Wagga Wagga, on Thursday 7 October 2022.
