On 6 June, a stolen car was used to gain entry into the store and more than $100,000 worth of electronic goods was taken.
"The Police Eagle helicopter was quickly deployed and located a vehicle linked with the group shortly after, where ground staff located and recovered some items at the time."
The stolen items include iPhones, Apple watches, Galaxy phones, Fitbits and UE Boom speakers, which were later recovered and returned to the owner.
"Several search warrants were subsequently executed in relation to the burglary, resulting in the arrest of three offenders and the recovery of further property taken during the burglary."
The three men have been charged with burglary and are appearing in court.
Police are advising people to be vigilant when buying new items from private sellers, as they may have been stolen.
