The man will face the ACT Magistrates Court after being arrested when police executed a search warrant on a residence in Griffith.

About 3.15pm on Monday, police received a report of the burglary of electronic goods and jewellery worth about $10,000 from a home in Griffith.

"That same day a man entered the Cash Converters store in Woden and sold a number of jewellery items. Police were later alerted to the sale and the items were identified as being those stolen from the house," police said.

Officers searched a Griffith residence on Tuesday, finding a number of other items also suspected to have been stolen in the burglary.

An ACT Policing spokeswomen said a 23-year-old man was arrested and taken to the ACT Watch House. He will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday on charges relating to burglary and theft.

Criminal Investigations Detective Superintendent Paul Shakeshaft said the incident offered a timely reminder to residents about the importance of securing their home and property over this holiday season.

“If you are heading away over the Christmas and New Year period it is important to ensure you take the time to secure your home properly before leaving,” he said.

“Make sure all of your doors, windows and side and rear access gates are locked, get a neighbour to collect mail for you and ask them to keep an eye on the place for you while you are away.”
