A Victorian man’s classic car collection has been stolen in a carefully planned theft in regional Victoria.

A 1970 Torino, 1971 fastback Mustang and 1970 Mustang coupe were stolen from a property in Alexandra early this month.

Luke Collins, the victim’s neighbour and friend, says the cars were stored in a shed at a remote holiday property. Thieves cut locks and stole security cameras before making off with the vehicles.

“It’s a real shame that he’s getting to that point where he can start to enjoy them and they’re taken away,” he told Neil Mitchell.

The Torino was spotted on a trailer on the Maroondah Highway in Taggerty and also near Rochford Winery on the morning of October 17.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
