CASH was stolen during a break-in at a gaming venue in Cheltenham, 1 August.
Police say that an unknown offender broke into the Centre Dandenong Road venue by smashing a rear glass door at around 6.30am. When inside, two men stole what police say was “a large amount” of cash.
The two men fled into a waiting car, which police believe may have been driven by a woman. She was in a white Range Rover. The car was last seen moving south on Centre Dandenong Road.
In a statement police said that “the first male offender was wearing a black baseball cap with a face covering and a dark jumper, blue hard Jakka brand pants, carrying a sledgehammer with a yellow handle. The second male offender had his face covered and was wearing a black hooded jumper with Japanese writing down the sleeves, carrying a black and red backpack. It is believed the female driver was also wearing a black hooded jumper with Japanese writing down the sleeves.”
To help with their investigation, police have released images of the black hooded jumper and a vehicle of interest (above). Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
