Police search for stolen caravans

Police are investigating the theft of more than $1 million worth of campervans in Braybrook last month.

It is believed seven Mercedes Sprinter campervans were stolen from a business on Ashley Street between Sunday, February 23 and Wednesday, February 26.

Each van is estimated to be worth about $150,000 each.

Four of the campervans were recovered in the Footscray, Flemington and Kensington areas.

Three campervans remain outstanding with Victorian registrations 1QH5ES, 1PZ2LZ and 1PZ2NJ, however the registration plates may have since been removed, altered, or changed.

Investigators have released images of the outstanding campervans and want anyone who recognises the vehicles or knows of their whereabouts to come forward.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
