The brazen theft of 45 vehicles worth more than $2 million from a holding yard in Port Melbourne has already led to one woman being charged, and now police have detailed what cars they’re on the lookout for.
As reported earlier today, the 45 cars and vans were stolen from a Salmon Street facility between 3:00pm Sunday, October 20 and approximately 6:30am Monday, October 21.
At the time of writing, 17 vehicles have been recovered, and all of the cars and utes were waiting to be delivered – many still with protective plastic film on them.
Though initial images only showed Skoda Kamiqs and Mercedes-Benz Sprinters among those being stolen, the full list published by Victoria Police shows a far wider range of vehicles.
