Police have recovered an array of stolen property after catching who they say is a "recidivist burglar".

Police’s Tactical Crime Unit staff were making inquiries at a property in Hamilton on Monday in relation to recent burglaries when they spotted a vehicle in the driveway with an altered number plate.

Police say the vehicle was allegedly stolen the night before.

Officers then executed a search of the property and located a haul of stolen property linked to six burglaries.

Items included the vehicle, car keys, multiple power tools, a laptop, gaming console and black Giant mountain e-bike. Also located was a cut down wooden toy gun, resembling a sawn-off firearm.

A 34-year-old was arrested and is facing multiple counts of receiving stolen property and one of breaching home detention.

“This is great work by our teams who acted quickly on their suspicions and were able to recover some valuable items and get a result for these victims,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Ian Foster.

Police are following up inquiries to locate the owners of the stolen property including the e-bike which has several distinctive features.
