Dunny bandit blows it

POLICE are searching for a man who broke into a Dandenong South food outlet from the roof and stole a set of keys.
But the keys were only to an outside toilet.
Detectives have released CCTV images of the man who removed roof tiles to get inside the Frankston-Dandenong Road store about 3.05am on Monday 25 January.
The man is described as being aged in his late 30s to early 40s with dark facial hair.
He was wearing a grey and black jumper, dark pants, a red baseball cap and gloves at the time of the incident.
Police believe another person was also involved with the theft because a foot was seen in the footage pushing the plaster of the roof down while the burglar was inside.
Anyone with information about the incident or anyone who can identify the man is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
