Three people have been arrested after stolen property was recovered from a series of burglaries and vehicle thefts in Nelson.
It comes after numerous stolen goods, two firearms and drugs were recovered in a number of search warrants in recent weeks.
A 45-year-old man is facing a number of charges including burglary and unlawfully being in an enclosed area.
He will appear in the Nelson District Court on 1 September.
A 33-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman have also been charged with receiving stolen property, unlawful possession of firearms and possessing drugs for supply.
They will both appear in court within the next month.
Police said they were grateful to members of the public who reported the burglaries, as the information provided assisted in making the arrests.
"We would also like to remind everybody to lock their vehicles and not keep any valuables inside if your vehicle is unoccupied.
"If you own any tools, ensure these remain out of sight and you have recorded a list of all the serial numbers, or engrave your initials into them."
