A group of wannabe thieves launched a brazen ram-raid on a Melbourne shopping centre using a skip bin truck.
The incident occurred around 4.50am on Monday at Burnside Hub shopping centre, in the city’s west, with the truck crashing into newly installed bollards outside the shopping centre.
Authorities believe the attackers were attempting to target an ATM inside the premises.
Despite their efforts, the thieves fled the scene empty-handed in a blue SUV without licence plates.
It’s not the first time the Burnside Hub shopping centre has been targeted.
The small centre has reportedly been the victim of several break-ins, which led to the installment of the $40,000 bollards, Sunrise reported.
Victoria Police said the blue SUV was last spotted on Robinsons Road.
Any witnesses, anyone with dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
