Police believe the items were all stolen during a series of burglaries across the north since early March.

A 32-year-old Longford man has been charged with multiple offences including aggravated burglary, burglary, stealing and unlawful possession of property over the haul.

He was bailed to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court in May.

A 31-year-old Longford woman was also charged with multiple offences including receiving stolen property, being in possession of stolen property and aggravated burglary.

She was detained to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court on Friday.

“Investigations into the burglaries are continuing and police urge anyone with information to contact 131 444 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000 or via crimestopperstas.com.au,” police said.
