Wagga police charged the 52-year-old man on Monday with a string of offences, but believe more people could come forward with reports.

Riverina Police District Superintendent Bob Noble said the spate of break-ins occurred between 8pm on December 26 and 9am the following day.

"That consisted of three attempted, one aggravated and three actual break-ins," he said.

"A number of items were stolen. Police from general duties, the proactive crime unit and the high-visibility policing unit attended an Ashmont address and arrested the 52-year-old.

"They also seized a number of items for forensic examination. The person had been looking for cash, jewellery and household goods."

The Ashmont man was refused bail by the court and will appear back in March 2021. Superintendent Noble said that no one had been hurt during the break-ins, but that was more a matter of luck.

He added it would be terrifying for anyone to wake up or walk into another room and realise someone else is in their home.

"It would not matter if you are a senior citizen or a big, strong young person - it would be extremely distressing," Superintendent Noble said.

"In those situations, things can get out of hand, and we are just pleased that did not happen on this occasion."

Superintendent Noble said the alleged incidents just show "what one person can do in a short amount of time".

But, he praised local officers' efforts who had worked tirelessly to chase leads and examine evidence to complete their investigation.

Superintendent Noble added that police are aware of a series of posts on social media with CCTV of a person "acting suspicious" in the same area on the relevant dates.

Any residents who have such footage should contact the Riverina Police District.

In another incident, police have also arrested a couple of individuals involved in separate brawls in the week leading up to Christmas.

"There was a number of pretty violent incidents out in residential areas and a number of arrests have been made in relation to those, and a number of court attendance notices issued," Superintendent Noble.

The four-day Christmas-break was relatively "trouble-free", Superintendent Noble said.

But, he encouraged Wagga to "keep up the good work" throughout the New Year's celebrations and continue to follow public health orders.

"Continue to practise the hygiene, distancing and common sense," Superintendent Noble said.
