$160k worth of engines stolen in ram raid
Three car engines, worth a combined total of $160,000, have been stolen in a shock ram raid on a business in Melbourne’s outer west.
Just before 5am on Thursday, three men drove three separate cars to a car repair shop on Barretta Rd in Ravenhall.
One of the vehicles, a stolen Nissan Navara, was used to plough through the shop’s metal shutter door, after which the three men hastily entered the premises.
While inside, two of the men located three car engines which were loaded into the back of a white Volkswagen Jetta and another unknown black vehicle.
CCTV footage shows the men wheeling two of the engines out from the back of the shop and under the buckled shutter door.
The men fled the scene in the two loaded up cars, leaving the stolen Nissan behind.
Police would like to speak with several men who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
The men were last seen wearing black clothing and one of the men was wearing a black ‘Squid Games’ mask.
Anyone with information or CCTV footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
