AN Aspendale Gardens home suffered more than $50,000 worth of damage during break ins last month.
Police believe that the Wells Road house was broken into multiple times throughout September. It was unoccupied.
Police say that an offender or offenders have trashed the home, leaving it “completely ruined”. Windows and walls have been destroyed, surfaces have been graffitied, light fittings and wires have been torn out, and small fires have been set.
Moorabbin Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating. A pair of football shorts (above) they believe may have been left at the house by an offender are of interest. Police say they are from Mordialloc Braeside Junior Football Club.
Police have released images of the house (below). Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
