A man will appear in court today charged after $10,000 worth of alcohol was allegedly stolen from retail stores across Sydney.
In January 2020, officers from Penrith Region Enforcement Squad (RES), with assistance from local Police Area Commands in the North West Metropolitan Region, established Strike Force Yarro to investigate reports of alcohol theft across Sydney.
About 9am yesterday (Tuesday 17 March 2020), officers from Mt Druitt Police Area Command stopped a vehicle on Delaney Street, Doonside.
Checks were conducted on the driver, a 36-year-old man, who was subsequently arrested over an alleged domestic-related incident in Lalor Park on Monday (16 March 2020).
The man was taken to Mt Druitt Police Station where he was charged by strike force investigators with 10 counts of larceny.
Police will allege in court that the man was involved in the coordinated theft of more than $10,000 worth of alcohol from retail stores in the Sydney Metropolitan area between January and February 2020.
The man was also charged with contravene prohibition/restriction in AVO (Domestic) and common assault (DV).
He was refused bail to appear at Mt Druitt Local Court today (Wednesday 18 March 2020).
Investigations under Strike Force Yarro are continuing.
