THE saga of retired Essendon AFL champion James Hird's stolen jumper continues, with a 22-year-old man charged over the theft of the prized guernsey.
The 250th game jumper signed by Hird and gifted to club stalwart Colin Hooper was swiped from a framing shop in Kew, in Melbourne's inner east, on September 1.
It was later discovered by detectives investigating another matter at a home in Springvale South, in the city's outer east.
The jumper had not been washed and was stained with grass and dirt marks from Hird's milestone game.
A man fleeing the house during the raid dropped the jumper in the backyard as police pursued him on foot.
Dandenong detectives arrested a 22-year-old man in a car in the outer eastern suburb of Cranbourne about midnight.
He has been charged with handling stolen goods in relation to the theft of Hird's 250th game jumper.
The 22-year-old faces another 12 charges relating to theft and burglary dating back to May 2005.
He is expected to appear in the Dandenong Magistrate's Court later this morning.

Did they do forensics on the grass dirt and sweat?
