Three men are being hunted after they allegedly ramraided a hardware store in Melbourne’s inner south and then hit a police car as they made their escape.
Investigators believe the trio unsuccessfully tried to break in to the McKinnon Rd store on May 3 about 5.30am, using an ankle grinder and a crowbar.
They then smashed through the front entrance in a black Holden SUV and grabbed cash and tools.
Police quickly arrived at the store and the trio then allegedly collided with a police car before they sped off from the scene.
Investigators have obtained CCTV footage and images of the three men allegedly involved in the incident and have appealed for the public’s help to track them down.

The third man is believed to be aged in his late 20s, of caucasian appearance, and was wearing a black face mask, a grey Lacoste T-shirt and white gloves.
