Police call for Kyneton burglary witnesses

Police are investigating two burglaries in Kyneton last month.

It is alleged that two male offenders gained access to a mechanic shop on Mollison Place about 1am on Sunday, October 13.

Police believe the offenders gained access to the motor yard, before stealing a dark coloured Ute that was being kept for repairs.

While the offenders were fleeing from the business in the Ute, they allegedly collided with a parked car on Ward Street, before damaging a nearby letterbox, fence, and water meter.

The unknown pair fled the scene, leaving the Ute behind.

Two days later, it is believed the same pair tried to gain access to a liquor store on High Street about 4am.

The pair were unsuccessful in their attempts and fled the scene.

Police have released images and CCTV of two males who they believe may be able to assist with the investigation.

Both males are Caucasian in appearance with thin builds.

In the first incident, one male was seen wearing a large dark jacket with hood, dark coloured pants, and dark coloured shoes.

The other male was seen wearing a dark puffer jacket with a light hooded jumper underneath, dark coloured pants, dark coloured shoes, and a white face covering.

In the second incident, one male was seen wearing a brown coloured jacket with a light hooded jumper underneath, dark denim jeans, dark coloured shoes, and a red face covering.

The second male was seen wearing a dark jacket with hood, dark coloured pants, dark coloured shoes, a red face covering, and one red glove.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, with dash cam or CCTV vision or information, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
