Assistance from the public has resulted in Boroondara Crime Investigation Unit detectives charging a man in relation to an alleged aggravated burglary in Kew earlier this month.
Investigators had been told a man entered a house on Pakington Street and stole numerous items before eating two muffins, left out on the kitchen bench, about 5.30am on 6 August.
Once outside the house he allegedly stole a 2018 Toyota Landcruiser with Victorian registration ASI169.
The vehicle is still outstanding.
An appeal for public assistance earlier this week resulted in valuable crumbs of information being provided to investigators.
A 28-year-old man of not fixed address has since been charged with aggravated burglary, theft of motor vehicle, two counts of attempted theft of motor vehicle, criminal damage and possess proceeds to crime.
He has been bailed to face Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 1 November.
