Police spoke with a 32-year-old Ravenswood woman on Thursday, who had been driving in the area.
Here, police found a substantial amount of assorted jewellery, a Nikon camera and small electrical items in her car.
The woman was charged with unlawful possession of property and minor drug offences.

Inquires have established that a large portion of the located items relate to 10 aggravated burglaries, police say.

Many of the jewellery and cutlery items are very old, police say. The police crime report number is 653682.

Being a health reporter to me is about more than just reporting the problems. It's about asking why they are happening in the first place and what needs to change to fix it.
