Tools stolen in Southbank burglary

Police are appealing for information after tools were stolen from a Southbank business during an early morning burglary in April.

Detectives believe an unknown man gained access to a business on City Rd through an unlocked door about 4.20am on Friday, April 17, before making a phone call to an accomplice.

A second man arrived less than an hour later and also entered the building.

Police allege the pair stole items including an oil pump and Tek Edge tools, valued at about $1000.

The two men then left the scene in a white Toyota Camry, which was stationary on Ballantyne St about 5.15am.

Investigators believe the person driving the Camry may have been a ride-share driver who was unaware of the alleged burglary.

Police have released images and CCTV footage of two men they believe may be able to assist with their investigation.

The first man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, of stocky build, about 40 years old, with dark hair and a goatee beard. He was wearing a black cap with yellow writing, blue jeans, a black jumper and black runners, and was carrying a grey backpack and black duffle bag.

The second man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, of medium build and aged in his 30s or 40s. He was unshaven with brown hair, and was wearing a North Face puffer jacket with blue trimmings, a grey hoodie, black jeans and black runners with red laces. He was carrying a Coles reusable cold bag.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online.
