Detectives from the Hobart Criminal Investigation Branch have charged a 34 year old Herdsmans Cove man with aggravated burglary and stealing after allegedly stealing a safe from a Blackmans Bay Home last Saturday night, Tasmania Police say.
Police allege the man entered the residence at Blackmans Bay and stole a safe containing a quantity of property, valued in the vicinity of $46,000.
A swift response by police resulted in the safe being recovered nearby.
Following a search, the man was later arrested at a Herdsmans Cove address and was detained for court. He has been bailed to reappear at the Hobart Magistrates Court in late July 2018.
Anyone with information regarding the matter is encouraged to contact Tasmania Police on 131 444 or information can be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers.
