Hay man charged with fraud, larceny and drug offences after alleged break-and-enters

Investigations into a number of break-and-enters on homes and businesses led police to execute a search warrant on a Maiden Lane home in Hay last week.

A number of premises were targeted by thieves between July 1 and August 12, and then again between September 14 and 16, police said.

Police allege they discovered a number of items believed to be associated with the break-and-enters, which mainly occurred in the late evening or early hours of the morning, when they searched the property on Thursday.
