Queensland police have charged a couple with possession of tainted property following the discovery of more than 1,000 library books at their home at Acacia Ridge, on Brisbane's south side.
The books and other property belong to six libraries across Brisbane, including Garden City and the University of Queensland.
Senior Sergeant Julie Elliott from Police Headquarters says the couple, aged in their early fifties, have allegedly been collecting the booty since 2004.
"The total cost of what police recovered is worth an estimated $40,000," she said.
"That includes all the books, which is about 1,000 books, 100 DVDs and an assortment of CDs and magazines."
