Police are urgently seeking public assistance to identify a man believed to be connected to a string of home burglaries in the northern Illawarra suburbs of Bulli and Towradgi.
Linked Incidents Over Two-Year Period
Investigators from Wollongong Police District have revealed that a series of break-and-enter offences at residential properties are likely connected. The crimes occurred between March 2023 and September 2025, targeting homes in the coastal communities just north of Wollongong.
During these incidents, thieves stole a range of personal items from the affected households. Jewellery and cash were among the valuables reported missing by the victims.
CCTV Images Released in Public Appeal
Following extensive inquiries, detectives have now released closed-circuit television footage of a man they believe may be able to assist with the investigation.
The individual was last captured on camera around 9am on Wednesday, 3 September 2025, in Wollongong's central business district. He is described as being of Caucasian appearance.
At the time, he was wearing a distinctive outfit consisting of:
- Grey track pants
- A khaki shirt
- A black jacket
He was also carrying a black backpack featuring a noticeable orange strip and a dark blue or black helmet. The man was riding a red and black road bicycle with red bar tape on the handlebars.
