Missing shoe helps to catch burglars in Lyndhurst

Two Cranbourne North men have been arrested following an aggravated burglary on Kess Grove in Lyndhurst on Thursday 5 May.

Officers were called to reports of a man trying to enter the front door of a home about 2.35am on Thursday morning.

They say he stole a torch from a car parked in the driveway and fled.

Twenty minutes later, police were called to a home burglary in Whisper Street.

A man had allegedly disturbed the resident while trying to steal a bicycle from the home’s garage.

He fled, leaving a shoe behind.

Police and a canine unit found two men nearby, one of whom was missing a shoe.

After a short foot chase, police caught and arrested the pair near the corner of Endeavour and Steele streets.

The 18-year-olds were taken into custody for questioning, police say.
