Oxley Detective Inspector Jason Darcy told the Leader officers had executed two search warrants targeting suspects in connection to the alleged offending.

He said police were appealing for further information as investigations continue into the alleged break and enter on Bowdens Lane in Moore Creek, just after midnight on Wednesday.

"We believe there are people in West Tamworth that know about it and are harbouring these people," Detective Inspector Darcy said.

"Given the seriousness of the offending we are calling for the public to come forward with information."

He said police investigations were continuing as officers work to get closure in the matter.
