Man Broke Into Office, Had a Coffee Then Stole Two Company Cars Worth $110k

  • A white Toyota Landcruiser reported stolen was driven through a shopping centre in Melbourne’s northern suburb of Preston on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a lockdown and distress among shoppers.
  • Police responded after reports of the stolen vehicle, which was taken from Ivanhoe East on 2 June, and attempted to block it at about 4pm before the driver rammed a police car to evade capture.
  • The Landcruiser sped through the shopping centre, smashing doors and bollards, narrowly missing shoppers who hid inside stores, while emergency services treated one woman for shock on scene.
  • Police later located the abandoned vehicle on Beavers Road in Northcote around 5:10pm and continue to search for the male driver, expressing optimism about making an arrest shortly.
  • The incident led to heightened police presence at Northland, which had been locked down less than a month earlier due to a separate machete brawl involving about 10 people, with investigations still ongoing.
