Police are appealing for information about two burglaries in Little River last week where trucks and firearms were stolen.
In the first incident, police believe three prime movers were stolen from a home in Narraburra Road, sometime between New Year’s Day and January 2.
It’s understood the offenders smashed a window to gain entry, before ransacking the house, punching holes in the wall and stealing keys for the three trucks that were parked at the address.
A white MAN prime mover with Victorian registration XV42ZX, a white DAF truck with New South Wales registration XN42YZ and a white Volvo prime mover with Tasmanian registration C00AY were all stolen, as was a truck trailer with Victorian registration XV42ZX.
Investigators have released images of the stolen trucks and trailer, in the hope someone with information comes forward.
Detectives are investigating if the burglary is linked to another residential burglary over the same period at a rural property on Boadles Lane, Little River.
Offenders gained entry to the home and ransacked the house before stealing a safe containing six registered firearms, including Emerald, Adler and Stirling shotguns, a Sturm Ruger 22, Norica air rifle and a Savage rifle.
In both incidents, the fireplaces in the homes were rummaged through by offenders prior to them leaving.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
