HEALESVILLE Police are investigating after three tractors were broken into, damaged and had fuel siphoned over the weekend.
Police believe three John Deere tractors, which were parked on Don Road near the soccer oval, were broken into at around 3am on Sunday 11 January.
One of the tractors was started and was used to run over a street sign and knock over the power box for the soccer oval.
Leading Senior Constable Chris Grasby said the ignition barrels on all three tractors were forced, and around 600 litres of diesel fuel was siphoned out of the tractors.
The tractors were being used by contractors for roadside grass slashing, and Leading Sen Const Grasby said the total damage was estimated at $5000.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information are asked to contact Leading Sen Const Grasby at Healesville police on 5962 4422.
