Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a home invasion and a burglary in Mooroopna on Thursday 24 August.
It is believed two offenders broke into a business on McLennan Street about 2.15am.

The offenders returned to the same street, broke into a residential premises on Joseph Street and threatened the occupant with a gun demanding money about 3.50am.
A 58-year-old woman told them she didn’t have any, so they punched her before taking off with her car keys and then her vehicle parked outside.
She sustained minor injuries and did not require treatment.
