Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a burglary in Cranbourne East that has left a two-storey property completely ruined.
It's believed three unknown male offenders have forced entry into a lock-up stage residence on McAllister Drive on 6 February about 3.30pm.
Once inside, the offenders have then proceeded to cause extensive damage throughout the property.
It's believed that the offenders smashed windows and left holes in the walls before plugging the upstairs basins and turning on the taps.
This has led to flooding throughout the premises and resulted in substantial water damage to light fittings, walls, and the ceiling.
Investigators believe that the water has then leaked downstairs through walls and cupboards, leading to carpets and floorboards needing to be replaced throughout.
As a result, the residence is required to be completely stripped and rebuilt.
The destruction caused is estimated to be in excess of $100,000.
The first male is described as being in his early teens, perceived to be Caucasian in appearance and thinly built. He had dark brown hair covering his ears, and was wearing a black skateboard-style helmet, a grey t-shirt, black pants and black runners.
The second male is described as being in his early teens, perceived to be Caucasian in appearance and thinly built. He had red hair in a long wavey mullet, glasses and was wearing a light grey t-shirt and black and white basketball shorts.
The third male is described as being in his early teens, perceived to be Caucasian in appearance and thinly built. He was wearing a shiny black bicycle helmet with a visor, glasses, a black t-shirt, green shorts and black runners.
Investigators believe the offenders attended the address on bicycles.
