In April 2018, detectives from the Robbery and Serious Crime Squad established Strike Force Tilyard to investigate six aggravated break-ins at supermarkets in the Hunter region between March 2017 and April 2018.
On October 31, 2018, a 28-year-old man was arrested and charged in relation to a break-in at a Tea Gardens supermarket on March 5 that year.
He remains before the courts.
Following further inquiries, Strike Force Tilyard detectives arrested a 20-year-old man at Raymond Terrace Police Station about 3pm on Tuesday, January 15.
The Tanilba Bay man was charged with aggravated break and enter in company.
Police will allege in court that the man was part of a group who stole cash after forcing their way into the store using sledge hammers, block splitters and crow bars.
The Tanilba Bay man was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Raymond Terrace Local Court on Tuesday, January 29.
Investigations under Strike Force Tilyard are ongoing.
