YARRA Ranges detectives are renewing their appeal for witnesses, after a truck and two tractors worth $200,000 were stolen from a Coldstream property.
Yarra Ranges Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Sergeant Adrian Berardi told the Mail that a white 2008 Isuzu 950 tray truck with two Kubota L5740 tractors loaded on the back were stolen on Sunday 20 November.
It is believed that thieves broke in to a compound on Station Street, near Coldstream West Road, about 1pm on the Sunday and stole the truck, driving it through a locked gate to escape.
On Tuesday 29 November, Victoria Police issued photos of the stolen vehicles, and said that detectives believe a second truck was involved in the theft.
The second truck, a white flat-bedded tow truck, was seen on CCTV, entering a paddock opposite the compound at the time of the theft.
The tractors were fitted with slashers at the time of the theft, and the three stolen vehicles were worth about $200,000.
The stolen truck is believed to have been spotted in Seymour.
Anyone with information, or who has spotted the stolen truck, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
