"Intelligence led us to two key nominals who we assisted CID colleagues in detaining, on Tuesday afternoon from an address in the Stradbroke area.
"Two males, 26-years of age, have been charged with over 20 different offences including burglary and robbery and remanded. One of the males has been recalled to prison until 2024.”
