A safe may have been “tampered with” after a supermarket was ransacked during a break-in in Melbourne’s inner west.

The Braybrook FoodWorks on South Rd was broken into just before 6am on Wednesday, with photos revealing knocked-over shelves and debris strewn across the floor inside the shop.

A broken bottle was also outside the store as police investigated.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman confirmed the supermarket had been broken into on Wednesday morning.

Police believe two offenders forced their way into the supermarket just before 6am.

“At this early stage it appears a safe may have been tampered with,” the spokeswoman said.

“It is unclear if anything was stolen.”

Anyone with information has been urged to come forward.
