Ram-raid causes $10k damage south-east of Melbourne

A Pearcedale hardware store has been ram-raided overnight, thieves making off with thousands of dollars worth of power tools.

Owner Adrian Scialpi says the crooks have caused about $10,000 damage.

The crime is believed to be linked to another ram-raid in Koo Wee Rup.

Mr Scialpi spoke with Tom Elliott on Friday.
