Police today released new CCTV images of a man they are seeking over a home burglary in south-east Melbourne during the summer.
Investigators have learnt the man attended a residential property on Blenheim Street, Balaclava, about 8am on January 29.
Any witnesses are being urged to contact police.
It is understood the man forced entry into the property and fled the scene with bags containing the victim’s property.
He returned to the street about 1pm later in the day before entering a second property.
It’s believed the man stole a set of car keys before driving the victim’s car a short distance down the driveway.
He ran away after the victim yelled out, leaving the stolen vehicle in the driveway.
The man is of Caucasian appearance, aged in his mid-30s, about 175cm tall, with a medium build, tanned skin and brown hair.
CCTV footage shows a tattoo of writing on the man’s right forearm.
He was seen wearing a black T-shirt, black tracksuit pants with two white stripes down the side, a dark green camouflage print cap and white runners.
Earlier in the day the man was seen wearing a fluoro orange long-sleeve top.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam/CCTV footage should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
