The Cellarbrations bottle shop in Kooweerup was ram-raided and robbed on 22 September.
Cardinia CIU Detective Senior Constable Angela Butler said detectives were investigating the burglary, which occurred about 3.50am.
“Two male offenders in a black Ford Ranger have used the vehicle to ram open the shop’s front sliding doors,” DSC Butler said.
She said the two men, one of a normal build and one of a heavy build both masked and dressed in light coloured clothing, took two cash tills and a number of cigarette lighters.
Det Sen Const Butler said the pair attempted to break into a cigarette cabinet but were unsuccessful.
She estimated about $1000 in cash was taken before they fled the scene.
Det Sen Const Butler described the vehicle as a dark coloured Ford Ranger with a front bull bar, snorkel and metal tradies’ tray on the back.
It had black and white plates and is estimated to be a model made sometime between 2010 and now.
“We’re asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers,” Det Sen Const Butler said.
Crime Stoppers can be contacted on 1800 333 000 or people can submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
