Tasmania police say a "significant amount" of property linked to burglaries across Hobart was able to be recovered this month thanks to "detailed information" given by an anonymous tipster. Crime Stoppers, a not-for-profit that works to assist police, say a reward of up to $2,000 is available and has appealed to the tipster to claim it. Over the years, the charity has helped to solve some of Tasmania's most notorious crimes.

The Court of Criminal Appeal heard arguments from both sides and adjourned to make a decision, with no date set.
