Theft from motor vehicle and criminal damage – Kerang

A staff member of Arnoldt and Greenwood Car Dealership was walking through the car yard on Thursday, May 9 around 8.30am when he noticed all four wheels missing from a blue Holden VE SV6 Commodore. The vehicle, which was parked at the rear of the premises, had been propped up on bricks. 

 A review of CCTV footage showed that after midnight that morning, unknown offender(s) were seen walking on the footpath of the back of the car yard on Muir Avenue pointing torches into the same. 

At about 1am, a vehicle that appears to be a utility was also seen driving slowly on Muir Avenue towards the Murray Valley Highway. The offender(s) has then returned and CCTV captures a male wearing shorts, hoodie and a head torch.

The offender(s) has gained access into the car yard by cutting a hole of approximately a metre square in the wire fence next to the gate on Muir Avenue. The value of tyres and repairs to the fence total approximately $500.

Police are interested in hearing from anyone who has information on what has occurred.
