A trailer load of outdoor furniture and other items were returned to a third victim yesterday, but police found a range of other property they suspected was also stolen, including lawnmowers, an apparently unused aluminium-framed gazebo, and garden ornaments.
"It was good work by the witness and attending police officers," said Patrick, as she and other officers inspected and catalogued other items at the search address yesterday.
"Police believe there is still more stolen property at the address of the offender."
People who recognise any of the items pictured or who have been burgled in the area were being asked to contact the Hawke's Bay Police tactical crime unit on (06) 8730561.
The discovery was similar to at least two other bigger and unrelated finds at residential properties in the Napier-Hastings area in the past year, also with drugs links.
In April, sheds and shipping containers on a Bay View property were raided by police, who recovered a range of stolen property including go-karts and parts taken from the Hawke's Bay Karting Club raceway at Roy's Hill in July 2014.
That search was made after a bag of cannabis was found at a property during a police hunt for a man who had failed to appear in court.
In August, a search of a property near Bridge Pa resulted in stolen property being returned to more than 40 victims of burglaries over the previous two years.
A man is awaiting trial on 45 charges of receiving stolen property and a small number of other charges, including burglary, theft, taking of a vehicle, and possession of a pipe for the use of methamphetamine.
