A frustrated Bunnings customer has reignited debate over whether pets should be allowed in stores.

The customer took to social media to criticise the hardware store's pet policy after they claimed to have come across dog droppings in an aisle.

Sharing a photo of the incident, the shopper claimed they own and love dogs but the situation was "getting out of hand".

"I had to stand there to warn people then dash off to find a staff member only to return to the scene of the crime to see a woman and her trolley roll right over it," they claimed.

"A friend I saw not long after, told me later that not 10 mins after our encounter, she witnessed a woman clicking her fingers in the air to get staff attention to come and clean up after her dog."

The shopper claimed only a week prior they had witnessed a dog fight at the service desk.

"Why are we allowing non service dogs into a hardware shop? It's a shop, not a dog park," they said.

Bunnings confirmed dogs are allowed in store if they're friendly, on a lead and under control at all times and that staff can refuse entry if they display aggressive behaviour.

"We've been welcoming pets into our stores for many years and love the feedback from customers about how much they enjoy having their four-legged companions with them while they shop with us," Bunning chief customer officer Rachael McVitty told 9news.com.au.

"The feedback we receive shows that the vast majority of pet owners are respectful of other customers and our team when they're in our stores.

"We work hard to make sure our stores are safe, welcoming environments for everyone and we're disappointed to hear one of our customers had a negative experience.

"We encourage any customer to reach out to one of our team members if they see or experience something we should be aware of so we can resolve it on the spot."

A man in New South Wales has been arrested and charged over the 2021 theft of almost a tonne of silver bullion, worth more than $1 million.

A shipment of 192 five-kilo bars of the precious metal – a total of 960kg – was being transported from Sydney to Melbourne in late November 2021 when it was stolen.

The alleged theft wasn't noticed until the truck carrying the consignment arrived in Melbourne. Police in NSW were notified, leading to the formation of a strike force to investigate.

Almost three years later, a 40-year-old man was yesterday arrested at Wee Jasper, a small village in the Yass Valley, about 60km north-west of Canberra.

He has since been charged over the heist.

"He was taken to Yass Police Station and strike force detectives executed search warrants at Bargo and Tahmoor property seizing electronic devices and business records for forensic examination," police said.
