Police investigating a high-value burglary in Swanson last month are seeking assistance from the public.
Sometime between 14 and 27 January, a residential address on Swanson Road has been entered and a significant amount of silver and gold stolen.
Detective Shaun Galbraith, Waitematā West Tactical Crime Unit, says a large quantity of silver bullion, including a number of 1kg silver bars, were taken.
“Each of the bars is imprinted with “MW” (Morris & Watson) inscription.
“A number of 1oz gold Kiwi coins were also stolen from the property.
“The combined value of the stolen items is significant and we are determined to locate those responsible and hold them to account but we need the public’s help.”
Detective Galbraith says Police are urging anyone who has information to please come forward.
“We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious people or vehicles around the Swanson Road and Christian Road areas between 14-27 January.
“If you noticed unusual activity near rural driveways, gate areas, or properties backing onto the Swanson rail corridor then please reach out.”
He says Police are also keen to hear from people who may have been offered a large amount of silver or gold for sale in unusual circumstances.
“If you have any information regarding the burglary or the whereabouts of the bullion please contact Police.”
