A Maribyrnong resident estimates a thief took about $15,000 worth of items from his flood-ravaged home on Monday morning; a crime now under police investigation.
A Melbourne flood victim has described the devastation of having his home inundated by the rising waters, then learning on Monday morning the property had been burgled.
He said he received a phone call from a neighbour about 7am Monday when a Channel Nine camera crew spotted the masked intruder rushing from his home and fleeing in a blue Ford Territory 4WD.Victorian Police confirmed it was investigating the alleged burglary and would patrol the flood-affected parts of Maribyrnong, where some sodden homes were now unoccupied.
He said it appeared the thief forced open his front security door, smashed through the house and filled bags with his family’s belongings.
