A plea for appeal has been launched to find two men who stole tools from a Melbourne business.<\/p>\n
CCTV footage of the pair shows them rummaging through the business on City Rd in Southbank about 4.20am on April 17.<\/p>\n
One of the men is believed to have gained access through an unlocked door before making a call to his accomplice who joined him soon later.<\/p>\n
An oil pump and tools valued at about $1000 were stolen from the business before the men drove off in a rideshare car about 5.15am.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigators believe the person behind the wheel of the Toyota may have been a rideshare driver, completely unaware of the burglary,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
The first man is believed to be aged in his 40s with a stocky build, dark hair and a goatee.<\/p>\n
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black cap with yellow writing, blue jeans, black jumper, black runners and carrying a grey backpack and black duffle bag.<\/p>\n
The other man was described as being aged in his 30s or 40s with a medium build, Caucasian appearance, unshaven and with medium build.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was wearing a North Face puffer jacket with blue trimmings, a grey hoodie, black jeans, black runners with red laces and carrying a Coles reusable cold bag,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
