Police are trying to stop a burglary crew that’s struck several times in six weeks, including in Springvale South.
Glen Eira Bayside CIU detectives are appealing for public help to solve several commercial burglaries and a theft.
They said two men got out of a white van and forced entry to a hardware store on Park Road, Glen Iris, about 4am on Saturday 16 September.
It’s believed the same duo committed another burglary at the same store on 11 October, then returned again on 24 October and 3 November with a woman.
They were seen using a green Mitsubishi Verada sedan during the last two burglaries.
Police said they stole cash, laptops and power tools.
Investigators believe one of the men and the woman attended an eyewear store inside a Centre Dandenong Road shopping centre on Friday 27 October.
The man distracted a staff member while the woman stole a tablet-style EFTPOS device from the counter.
They then left the centre in what detectives believe was the same Mitsubishi Verada sedan.
The EFTPOS machine was later recovered in Rowville.
Police believe the man and woman also used the Verada to attend a construction site in Clarke Road, Springvale South, about 1.10am on Friday 3 November.
They looked around and left but returned two hours later, forced entry to the site office and stole a laptop, iPad and two-way radio.
Police believe all those involved are aged in their twenties and Caucasian in appearance.
They’ve released CCTV and images of two men and a woman they believe might be able to assist with their inquiries, and the green Mitsubishi Verada sedan.
Detectives believe the incidents might also be linked to a burglary at a hairdressing salon on Wellington Road, Rowville, on Tuesday 24 October.
