About 6.30pm on Saturday, officers from the Monaro Police District attended an address on Alfred Place, Karabar, and were told a 27-year-old man arranged to meet two unknown men who wanted to purchase a piece of jewellery.

The men allegedly assaulted the 27-year-old and stole the jewellery. It is believed the piece's sale was planned online.

Following the incident, about 7pm on Sunday, police attended an address on Gabriel Avenue in Jerrabomberra, and were told an unknown man attended the address and allegedly stole a collectable card without paying.

As inquiries continue, police are hoping to speak with two men of Caucasian appearance aged in their 20s. Both men were described as wearing dark puffer jackets, with one also having a small chin beard. They may be driving a silver Skoda station wagon, police said.

Police have urged members of the public to be cautious when arranging the purchase or sale of items online and report any suspicious behaviour.

Anyone with information about these incidents, including CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or nsw.crimestoppers.com.au
