Police hope CCTV images will identify those responsible for an alleged theft of an excavator and trailer from a business in Cranbourne.

Narre Warren police are investigating the Friday 25 May incident.

They believe up to three people were at the High Street address when the Vermeer mini loader excavator, worth $44,000 and trailer, worth $9,000 were taken between 3.40am and 4am.

Police say the intruders cut the fence to the business before forcing a lock on the trailer. It’s believed two cars were used in the offence.

Investigators released still images of a man they believe may be able to assist their enquiries.

They are urging anyone who may be able to identify the man or have any information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au and quote the incident number 180181716.
