The warrant at the Whitesides Avenue address formed part of an operation relating to alleged organised theft of vehicles and heavy machinery.

A number of items were seized including vehicles, motorbikes, excavators, trailers and a generator with an estimated value of over $300,000.

A 43-year-old Sunshine West man was arrested and has been charged with theft related offences.

He was bailed to appear in Sunshine Magistrates’ Court in August.
