A construction site in Heidelberg has been targeted by thieves who used a small crowbar to break into a site office.
Police are investigating the incident which took place last month on Bell St.
Investigators believe two men entered a construction site about 2.40pm on June 10 and forced entry to an office using a small crow bar.
It is believed they then stole numerous power tools before leaving the site.
Detectives have released CCTV of two men they believe may be able to assist with their inquires.
One of the men is described as being in his mid-30s to early-40s and short with a muscular frame. He was wearing a grey hooded jumper, black shorts with a white strip, a black baseball cap, white and black Adidas runners and carrying a Nike duffle bag.
The other man is believed to be in his mid-30s/early-40s and of average height. He was seen wearing black tracksuit pants, a grey hooded jumper, a black baseball cap and balaclava and black runners. He was carrying a brown backpack.
It is understood another man also entered the office via the damaged door several hours later, in the early hours of June 11, before fleeing after an alarm went off.
The man was wearing black shorts, a black puffer jacket, black gloves and a brown Raiders cap.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report online.
