A 51-year-old Redan man has been robbed of more than $400,000 worth of property.

More than $400,000 worth of property, including a car valued at up to $50,000, was stolen from a Ballarat home last month.

Ballarat police believe an offender got into a shed on a residential property in Redan between April 18 and 21.

Officers were told the offender took an unregistered 1969 HK Holden Brougham, worth between $40,000 and $50,000, which a 51-year-old was working on as a project.

Ballarat police have appealed for public assistance after more than $400,000 worth of items were stolen from Redan between April 18 and 21, 2024.

Various tools and equipment were stolen from the shed.

The vehicle is described as having a white bonnet, white boot, grey undercoat on both quarter panels, and no licence plates.

Investigators believe the same offender stole equipment including a hydraulic wrench, two welders, four line borers, two bore welders, a chainsaw, a plasma cutter, a generator, motorcycle gear, scuba gear, and two gold detectors.

A white van with a trailer was reportedly seen in the area on April 19 and 20 about midday.
