Two men have been charged as part of investigation into alleged aggravated break-ins at supermarkets on the Central Coast earlier this month.

Strike Force Perspex was established by detectives from the State Crime Command’s Property Crime Squad to investigate a number of break-ins at supermarkets on the Central Coast on Thursday 9 June 2016.

As a result of inquiries, strike force investigators, with the assistance of the Public Order and Riot Squad and the Dog Unit, executed a search warrant at a home unit on Kitchener Road, Long Jetty, about 8am on Tuesday ( 28 June 2016).

During the search, officers located and seized a knife, mobile phones, breaking implements, identification documents and clothing.
