Police are looking for the occupants of an out-of-control car that ran off the road, crashed through a fence and narrowly missed a Werribee house on January 16.
The red Holden VX Commodore ploughed through a brick fence in front of the property on the corner of Market Road and Meek Street just before 7pm.
The car came to rest just short of the house.
No one was home at the time.
First Constable Andrew North, of Wyndham highway patrol, said police believed the male driver and female passenger fled in another car with a dog.
“At this stage, it’s unknown how fast the car was travelling leading up to the crash, but we found tyre marks on the road which indicate it was still accelerating,” he said.
“We’re still trying to determine whether the car involved was stolen, but we understand the driver was seen several times around Werribee on the same night.”
The driver was described as a Caucasian man in his early 30s, 184 centimetres tall, unshaven with a light goatee beard, solid build and possibly of New Zealand or Pacific Islander descent. He was wearing dark pants, a dark T-shirt and white cap.
The woman passenger has been described as in her mid-30s with long dark hair tied back and wearing jeans, a black T-shirt and grey runners.
