‘$1 million’: Three Irish men arrested after 60 Melbourne burglaries

 

Three Irish men have been arrested following a string of “sophisticated” alleged home burglaries across Melbourne.

The three Irish nationals, aged 25, 24 and 19, have allegedly carried out over 60 home burglaries across Melbourne’s east, in Blackburn, Doncaster, Narre Warren, Hampton Park Narre Warren and Templestowe, since January.

The trio, who only just arrived in Australia in the last six months, allegedly stole over $1 million of property, including cash, jewellery and designer handbags.

The three men, who don’t have a fixed address, were arrested at a hotel near Melbourne Airport on Thursday morning.

The arrests came after three other Irish men were arrested on March 18 in connection to home burglaries in Sunshine and Mill Park between January and March this year.

Police allege the men, aged 35, 28, and 21, are part of the same foreign crime syndicate as the other trio.
