Police investigate aggravated burglary in Ivanhoe

North-West Metro Serious Crime Taskforce detectives are investigating following an aggravated burglary in Ivanhoe on Monday.

Detectives believe three unknown offenders approached the front door of a Malta street residence armed with firearms about 4.40am.

The victim, a 60-year-old man, noticed the men approach and ran from the house.

He was not physically injured during the incident.

A blue Toyota registered 1GT3FH stolen from Lilydale the previous day was used during the offence.

The offenders gained entry to the premises and ransacked multiple rooms, before stealing a vehicle registered 1HF8OM which was later located in Oriel Road, Bellfiled about 4:50am.

The blue Toyota remains outstanding and investigators have released images of a similar vehicle in the hope someone may recognise it.

Investigators are urging anyone who sees the vehicle or with any information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
