Turtle eggs found in stolen haul

TWO men who allegedly stole almost $50,000 worth of property were illegally keeping methamphetamine and 99 flatback turtle eggs at their home.

NINETY-NINE flatback turtle eggs and a haul of methamphetamine were allegedly found at the Darwin home of two young men who will face court after allegedly embarking on a $50,000 crime spree.

POLICE say the men, aged 20 and 25, broke into a private yacht moored in Darwin Harbour on July 6 and allegedly stole $2,000 worth of jewellery and credit cards, which they used to buy about $2,500 worth of clothing and jewellery from local stores.
