Burglary unsolved, illicit tobacco seized

Officers allege the rear door to a convenience store had been forced open and the premises were ransacked.

Campaspe Crime Investigation Unit detectives are looking for assistance to identify two men who were allegedly inside the store during the burglary, and have released CCTV images of the pair.

Both men are described as being in their mid-20s, Caucasian and around 180cm tall. One man was seen wearing a hoodie with a smiley face emoji.

Police investigating the burglary allegedly found a quantity of illicit tobacco, loose tobacco and e-cigarettes in the store. They then executed a search warrant and seized the suspected illicit tobacco products.

A Mildura man, 20, faces tobacco-related charges and was bailed to appear at Echuca Magistrates’ Court later this year.

Investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to call Echuca Police Station on 5483 1500 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online through www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
