A South Dunedin man, accused of stealing tools from tradespeople, will face multiple charges in court next week.
The 30-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday after police recovered thousands of dollars worth of stolen property from his address.
Inspector Marty Gray says the arrest is significant and was reflective of the heavy police focus on gang and criminal activity.
"We know it causes significant harm to our communities and Police are committed to targeting them and ensuring our communities are safe and feel safe.”
Police say the man will appear in the Dunedin District Court early next week on multiple charges after a gun and drugs were also found on the property.
Anyone who has had tools stolen recently or has any information about ongoing criminal activity is asked to call police on 105.
