A 70-year-old Brockville man will face a theft charge in the Dunedin District Court next week after police recovered a "sizeable" amount of stolen property when they executed a search warrant at a house in Brockville on Wednesday.
Senior Sergeant Mel Aitken, of Dunedin, said the warrant was in relation to a theft from a small supermarket in Kaikorai Valley Rd.
Officers spent much of the afternoon seizing the stolen items from the property, she said.
The grocery and food items filled a light truck and were probably collected over some period of time.
Some items were returned to the supermarket, but police were still sorting through the remainder yesterday.
