Burglar stopped in his tracks

A family of four interrupted a home invader during a burglary on their Dandenong home.
Two adults, aged 35 and 33, and two children aged under 15 were inside the Seely Street address about 4.20pm on Sunday 4 June.
Four people attended in a vehicle the victim described as an older white-coloured Toyota Prado.
One, described as Middle Eastern in appearance, knocked on the front door before forcing it open.
He stole the keys to the victim’s home and vehicles, a wallet containing bank cards and an iPhone.
He got into a vehicle parked in the garage before the victim disturbed him.
The man fled to the Prado and left the scene.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
