Over the last couple of years, a North Curl Curl resident noticed items were missing from their home.
In July this year, they reported the missing items to police and provided police with surveillance footage of recent thefts.
On 12 September 2025, Northern Beaches Detectives executed a search warrant at the offender’s Marsfield home and located many items believed to have been stolen.
A 67-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Gladesville Police Station and charged with nine counts of ‘Steal property in dwelling-house (Section 148 Crime Act NSW)’ and one count of ‘Dispose property where stealing is a serious indictable offence (Section 188 Crimes Act NSW)’.
Police will allege the woman was performing work as a house cleaner when she committed the offences.
She was granted conditional bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on 27 October 2025.
The stolen property includes designer handbags, and the total value is yet to be confirmed but expected to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Police will make inquiries to identify the owners of the seized property.
