Five cars that were purportedly taken from neighbourhoods in Sydney’s inner west, north, and east have been found by police, and they have charged one guy.
On October 23, between 1 and 5.30 am, it is reported that a grey Volkswagen Amarok, a Porsche Cayenne, and a Dodge Ram truck were taken from residences in Russell Lea and Kingsford.
Police were still looking for the suspected drivers when they discovered the Porsche, Volkswagen, and Dodge Ram pickup in Erskineville later that day.
On November 7, detectives released a public information request after discovering CCTV footage of two individuals they claimed to have seen “getting out of the Porsche in Erskineville, before getting into a silver Mazda CX5”.
“About 7.20am yesterday (Friday 10 November 2023), task force officers executed a search warrant at an address in Ryde, where they arrested a 32-year-old man,” NSW Police reported.
“Police found and confiscated several sets of car keys, including those to two Audis and a BMW that were purportedly stolen from Wollstonecraft and the Ryde area the previous evening, along with a Mazda CX5.”
“Police went on to locate two of the three allegedly stolen cars in North Sydney and East Ryde that afternoon.”
The 32-year-old was accused with five charges, one of which was receiving property theft and three counts of aggravated break-in with intent.
He is scheduled to appear in Parramatta Local Court today after being denied bail.
