Hobsons Bay Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance following a burglary in Newport last month.
It is understood a man knocked on the front door of a property on Farm Street, before walking around the house and gaining entry through the rear door about 12.10am on 23 October.
Police were told the offender stole a number of items before leaving the address and fleeing the scene on foot.
There were no injuries.
Investigators have released CCTV footage of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
He is described as Caucasian, aged in his 30s with tattoos on his arms.
He was last seen wearing a white striped shirt, black pants, white shoes and a green hat.
Anyone with information or CCTV footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
