A man has been charged following an investigation into a break-in in the state's central west earlier this year.
About 4.10am on Sunday on 23 April 2023, a property on the Newell Highway, Dubbo, was broken into where firearms and a Hilux utility towing a trailer holding an ATV, were allegedly stolen.
In April 2023, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District and the Rural Crime Prevention Team established Strike Force Sako to investigate the break-in.
Following inquiries, investigators spoke to a 28-year-old man at Tamworth Police Station, about 12.30am yesterday (Thursday 7 September 2023).
He was charged with seven counts of use, supply stolen firearm or firearm part, break and enter house steal value, damage property by fire/explosion and possess ammunition without holding licence/permit/authority.
The man appeared at Tamworth Local Court yesterday where he was formally refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday 20 September 2023.
