A 51-year-old Woy Woy man has been arrested and charged by police over the theft of more than $25,000 from a Tumbi Umbi lawn mower store.

According to police, a man driving a Ford utility vehicle smashed through the front door of Tumbi Mowers around 2am on February 13, and fled the scene with more than 20 stolen items.

The Woy Woy man was subsequently charged with several offences including breaking and entering and stealing a car.

He will face Wyong Court on April 17.

The owner of the business was reunited with most of the stolen stock.

However, some items had been damaged as a result of the theft.
