Police executed a search warrant on a Barwin Street address on Thursday. They have reviewed CCTV footage of activities at the address.
A 38-year-old male, 20-year-old female and 30-year-old male occupant of the Barwin St address were charged with aggravated break, enter and steal.
Both males were bail refused to appear in Parkes court yesterday.
They were refused bail and will be held in custody until they re-appear in court in Parkes on April 4.
The 20 year old female was given conditional bail to Forbes court.
Detective Sergeant Steve Howard said police have identified other persons coming to the address and leaving with meat parcels.
“We are encouraging those persons to come see us as they may have bought meat products unknowing that they were stolen,” he said.
“We have further concerns that the meat may have been contaminated due to the unsanitary methods in which it was handled and stored and it may we pose a serious health risk if consumed.”
Det Howard said investigations are continuing and they expect further charges to be laid.
Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact Lachlan detectives on 6862 9999.
