A man has been charged as part of an ongoing investigation into property-related crime in rural areas throughout western NSW.

Strike Force Dozer was established by officers from the Rural Crime Prevention Team and Orana Mid-Western Police District to investigate rural property crime throughout Narromine, Warren, Trangie, Nyngan and Cobar.

Officers have established proactive patrols on Merri Merri Road, south of Carinda, on April 28, when they located a vehicle that had been reported stolen from Narromine in March.

Further investigations led officers to a shop in Carinda, where they arrested a 24-year-old man about 1pm on the same day.
