A CRANBOURNE homeowner went out for just one hour and came home to a trashed house — $5000 in cash and $7000 in jewellery and goods stolen.
The Kingsbarn Court property was ransacked between 9am and 10am on Monday 23 May.
Thieves entered the property through the rear yard, smashed open an aluminium sliding window and ransacked a bedroom, taking an assortment of jewellery and cash.
A desktop computer hard drive was also taken and the monitor smashed.
The bandits also rendered the LCD TV useless by smashing it and pulled out the entertainment cabinet and destroyed that too.
A passageway cupboard was opened and the wiring to the NBN cut, which turned off the security alarm.
Anyone with information on the burglary or anyone who saw something suspicious that morning is urged to call Detective Senior Constable Daniel Jacobi at the Narre Warren police station on 9705 3111.
