BURGLARS came away empty handed after breaking into Karingal Hub shopping centre, 1.24am, Wednesday 10 May.
Detective Senior Constable Richard Brown, of Frankston CIU, said two men used a jemmy bar to force glass doors near the post office and then tried to smash their way into Prouds jewellers.
Unsuccessful, they jumped the counter at the Free Choice tobacco outlet and tried to force doors into the cigarette cabinet, fleeing with a “couple of cigarette lighters”.
The men wearing hoodies and gloves drove off in a stolen silver Commodore.
