A man has been charged over an alleged aggravated break and enter at a Riverina home earlier this year and the alleged theft of a vehicle, three firearms and around $60,000 worth of jewellery.
A granny flat at a property on Scott Street outside Moorong was allegedly broken into sometime between 5 pm on Monday 3 October and 7 am on Tuesday 4 October.
Riverina Police District officers established a crime scene, which was forensically examined, and an investigation commenced.
