Detectives investigate Frankston thefts

Detectives from Frankston Crime Investigation Unit are appealing for public assistance to help to identify two women following thefts in Frankston earlier this month.

Investigators have been told a handbag was stolen from the women’s change room at an aquatic centre on Cranbourne Road at 9.50am on 16 June.

CCTV captured the women leaving the centre and getting into a silver Honda sedan being driven by an accomplice.

The offenders drove around the car park until they locate the victim’s light blue 2012 Volkswagen sedan, registration ZDD 273.

The female offenders used a key from the stolen handbag to steal the VW sedan which has not been located.
