A NSW hologram driver’s licence card and a card-making machine, which contained a half completed Medicare card inside, was also located in the vehicle along with other items.
Campsie police crime manager Detective Chief Inspector Paul Albury said a 34-year-old Malaysian national was arrested and charged with breach of bail, deal with proceeds of crime, possessing identity information to commit indictable offence and possess equipment to make identification information.
Det Chief Insp Albury said his officers also recovered several items of stolen mail from residents from the Homebush, Tempe, Breakfast Point and Sans Souci areas which contained credit cards, Medicare cards and other identity documents still attached to these letters.
Det Chief Insp Albury said their proactive crime team was patrolling the vicinity of William St, Kingsgrove, at 12.40am on Saturday, when they spotted a Silver Toyota Camry bearing NT plates being driven in an easterly direction.
He said the officers stopped the vehicle and conducted a random breath test.
