Three Irish nationals arrested over $1m burglary ring

Three Irish nationals have been charged after allegedly stealing $1 million worth of cash, jewellery and designer handbags during more than 60 robberies.

Victoria Police accused the men, aged 19, 24 and 25, of carrying out a spate of “sophisticated residential burglaries” this year.

The trio broke into homes in Melbourne’s east while residents were away and then tried to cover their tracks with cleaning products, police will allege.

They were arrested at a hotel near Melbourne Airport on Thursday and charged with multiple counts of aggravated home invasion, aggravated burglary, burglary and theft from a motor vehicle.

The three men will face the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.

Police alleged they were part of a wider syndicate which led to the arrests of three other Irish men in March.

“Investigators are continuing to probe whether both groups are linked to any other unsolved burglaries,” a police spokesperson said.

Investigations into both groups of men remain ongoing and anyone with information has been urged to come forward.
