Whittlesea Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man with more than 100 offences committed in Melbourne’s northern suburbs in the past two months.
A 35-year-old Epping man was arrested in Dallas on Thursday, with investigators allegedly locating a large amount of property believed to have been stolen in burglaries and thefts from motor vehicles in the north-western suburbs, up to the Seymour area.
Police said jewellery items including pendants, bracelets, rings and necklaces were located at the address as well as various power tools and a stolen motor vehicle.
The man was subsequently interviewed and has been charged in relation to over 100 offences, which include aggravated burglary, burglary, intentionally causing injury, theft, handling stolen goods, obtaining property by deception, drug offences and traffic offences.
He is expected to appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates Court later this afternoon.
