Caravan theft caught on camera

Melbourne police release footage of Avan caravan being stolen on New Year's Eve

Victoria police has released CCTV footage of brazen thieves suspected of stealing a $65,000 caravan from an industrial estate in Melbourne's south.

Moorabbin Police said two unknown men driving a stolen white Toyota Hilux were captured in Elna Court in Moorabbin where the 2021 Avan Aspire 555 caravan was parked about 2.30pm on December 31, 2022.

It's believed the offenders used an angle grinder to force the tow ball lock off the caravan before hooking it up to the Hilux and driving away.
