A tradie is believed to have burgled a house under construction in Noble Park.
Greater Dandenong CIU detectives are appealing for public help to track him down and have released an image of a man that might be able to assist with their inquiries.
They said the man forced entry to the Joffre Street home about 3pm on Sunday 12 November.
The house’s owner was driving by, stopped to talk to the man inside the house and noticed the air-conditioner had been removed and property damaged.
The man said he worked for an air-conditioning company and picked his tools up before leaving in a white 1998 Nissan Stagea sedan with registration AEA 020.
The man is described as Caucasian in appearance and aged in his early twenties with short, dark hair.
He was wearing a yellow high-visibility short-sleeved top, white HyFlex brand gloves, dark blue cargo pants and dark-coloured boots.
Police urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
