Constable Erin Doherty and officers found more than $12,000 of stolen construction goods when they raided a St Kilda home. PHOTO: NEW ZEALAND POLICEWhen police raided Sumnan Ung’s home they found enough tools to start a construction company. The items had all been stolen from building sites around the region and were kept at Ung’s St Kilda home. The defendant said the drugs were from “ages ago” and that he had bought the huge haul of stolen tools off a friend, but he knew only their first name. He had since stopped using drugs, the court heard, and broken ties with the criminal fraternity with whom he had been consorting.
