Police have released CCTV footage of a man clad in a latex mask after an arsenal of firearms were stolen from a Chipping Norton home.

Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Drug and Firearms Squad have released CCTV footage following the theft of 10 firearms during a break-in at a Chipping Norton home earlier this year.

Police were called to a property on Bon St at about 7.30pm January 25, after reports of a break and enter.

The homeowners, who had left for holidays earlier that day, were alerted around 3pm when they noticed an unknown man on their CCTV via a mobile phone app.

Investigations revealed a total of five rifles and five pistols, estimated to be worth around $11,000, were stolen from two separate safes inside the home.

Local police established a crime scene and commenced initial inquiries before the matter was referred to State Crime Command’s Drug & Firearms Squad under Strike Force Amoco.
