Store burglary in Cranbourne

Police are investigating after a number of goods were stolen from a store in Cranbourne this afternoon.

Officers were called to reports of two men and a woman entering a store on Thompsons Road around 11:05am, on Wednesday 26 March.

The offenders attempted to leave the store without paying for a range of items.

Security grabbed one of the men and a passer-by intervened, striking the offender with a guitar.

The remaining offenders and a third man returned in a van, got out of the vehicle and produced what appeared to be metal bars.

Threats were made before security released the person they were holding.

All offenders then got into the vehicle and fled the scene.

Videos of the incident were posted on Facebook, which has since gained traction and has been shared in multiple groups.

Investigations into the matter remain ongoing, and anyone with information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppers.com.au
