A SUPERMARKET in Tarneit was burgled last Tuesday, but the thieves left a rubber mallet and paint scraper behind after the incident.
Police are seeking witnesses to the crime, which happened at a Sayers Rd store, near the corner of Morris Rd at around 3.15am.
The unknown offenders forced their way in through a rear door, but forgot to take a rubber mallet and paint scraper with them, after fleeing the scene.
They stole electrical items including digital cameras and HD set-top boxes before leaving the store.
A male described as being of a medium build, wearing a grey or light-coloured long-sleeved light weight top with blue pants – possibly wearing a hoodie pulled down over most of his face – was seen walking a dog near the entrance, prior to entering the supermarket.
Police also wish to speak to a female who was seen in a small yellow car near the time of the burglary.
If you noticed someone suspicious in the area at the time or have information regarding the burglary please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
