If you've noticed you've lost a surf board or two, a bike, some tools and maybe even a tent, police might have found them for you.
A man is facing numerous charges after a crime spree throughout Newcastle and Lake Macquarie where he allegedly broke into a number of vehicles and homes stealing a number of items.
Police have been investigating the break ins which yesterday led them to a home in Kotara South, where they arrested a 30-year-old man just after 10am, and seized various items including a motorcycle which police allege is stolen.
Officers then moved on to a home in Mayfield on Havelock Street where they executed a search warrant.
At this location officers located a number of allegedly stolen items including electric tools, seven bicycles, five surf boards, large amounts of portable electronic equipment, a generator, a tent, a lawn mower and even a whipper snipper.
The 30-year-old man is accused of stealing the items from Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle West, Broadmeadow, Islington, Kotara South, Redhead and Wyoming.
He was taken to Newcastle Police Station and charged with 11 offenses relating to the incidences.
He was refused bail and will appear in Newcastle Local Court today.
