Altona Soccer Club Burglary Leaves Detectives Offside

Hobson’s Bay Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for witnesses following an attempted burglary at a soccer club in Altona earlier last month.

Investigators have been told an offender attended a soccer club on Mills Street, twice on 14 March.

It was reported to police that the male offender unsuccessfully attempted to gain access to the club rooms via a side door, before taking off on a blue motorcycle about 11.50am.

It is believed that the same offender returned later that night, breaking into a vending machine, positioned in an outdoor undercover area, about 9pm.

The offender stole an unknown amount of cash and fled the scene.

Investigators have released images and CCTV of a man who they believe can assist them with enquiries.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
