Whitehorse Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance following the theft of two boats in Vermont on Saturday morning.
Investigators have been told a group of between three to five people attended a marine business on Canterbury Road about 5am and broke in stealing two boats.
The boats are described as a white and light blue Malibu registered R0570, on a trailer registered Z19075 and a white and dark blue Malibu registered R0570, on a trailer registered W2111.
The boats are collectively valued at $250,000.
The group were believed to be driving two vehicles, a dark coloured Nissan Patrol Utility and a black SUV.
Investigators would like to speak to a person who walked past the premises around 5.30am, having to walk out onto the roadway while the offenders were in the driveway, hooking up one of the boats.
Police have released images and CCTV footage of the two boats and vehicles in the hope that someone may have seen them or has dash-cam footage of them being towed along Canterbury Road following the theft.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
