Burglary at South Melbourne hair salon

Detectives from Port Phillip Crime Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a burglary at a South Melbourne hair salon last Saturday.

It's believed an unknown man used a hammer to smash through the front window of a Gladstone Street business about 3am on 12 December.

Once inside the man exited and re-entered the business several times before stealing an Apple desktop computer and fleeing on foot.

Investigators have released CCTV and images of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their enquires.

The man was wearing a blue jacket, dark-coloured pants, and had a white towel covering his hands.

Detectives believe a number of witnesses walked past the business during and after the burglary and are appealing for them to come forward to police.

Anyone who recognises the men or who witnessed the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
