Police are investigating following a theft of a 2005 white Subaru Impreza from an Eaglemont home earlier this month, Victoria Police say.
Investigators have been told the victim, a 26 year old man from Eaglemont, advertised the car for sale online and was contacted by two men in response to the advertisement.
About 6.30pm on 1 March 2017 two men attended the victim’s home and asked to look at the car.
One of the men left shortly after in a red Holden Commodore Ute while the other man pretended to inspect the vehicle before driving off in it.
The Subaru was involved in a collision on Upper Heidelberg Road Ivanhoe a short time later.
The driver fled the scene.
Investigators have released CCTV images of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
