Hardware store of stolen tools uncovered in Dunedin raid

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Police raided a Dunedin home and uncovered some serious hardware.

Specialist officers recovering thousands of dollars of stolen property during a search warrant at a South Dunedin property on Wednesday.

Many of the items were builder's tools and equipment. Police also found a firearm, ammunition and drugs.

A 30-year-old man was arrested at the house and would appear in the Dunedin District court on Tuesday.

"This is a significant seizure and reflective of the police focus on gangs and criminal activity," Otago Coastal Area Commander Inspector Marty Gray said.

Police wanted to hear from any other victims who had building equipment or tools stolen recently.

Anyone with information about gang activity, drugs or firearms could call 105 to report it, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
