Press PLAY to hear the latest from the scene

It comes after the nearby DIOR boutique on Collins Street was again targeted by thieves last month, in an early morning ram raid.

“We’ve got the tobacco wars, maybe designer handbags are the new trend for Melbourne’s criminals,” she told Ross and Russel.

Police have confirmed roller doors prevented the burglars from accessing the store therefore nothing was stolen.

The offenders fled the scene in two vehicles last seen travelling south along St Kilda Road.

Any witnesses or anyone with CCTV/dashcam footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or anonymously at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
