Images of two men have been released as police search for those responsible for the brazen theft of a $65,000 caravan stolen from the driveway of a family home on New Year’s Eve.

Two unknown men were seen driving a stolen white Toyota HiLux at 2.30pm on December 31 in Moorabbin.

The men went to the Elna Ct home, and used an angle grinder to separate the caravan from a tow ball lock where it was parked.

They then hooked the caravan up to the stolen HiLux and drove away.

Investigators say the Avan Aspire 555 caravan had unique modifications making it worth $65,000.

The stolen HiLux was found dumped in Noble Park on January 11.

The first suspect is believed to be caucasian and aged between his 30s to 40s and 180cm.

He was wearing a green Las Vegas Oaklands Raiders cap, a white mask and a grey shirt. He had navy work pants and light brown boots on.
