Maribyrnong Crime Investigation Unit detectives are hoping to identify a burglar who attempted to break into a house in Footscray last week.
It is believed the burglar and another man got out of a silver Volkswagen Golf on Shepherd Street and broke into a car stealing sunglasses and other personal items just before 7am.
One of the men, wearing a high-vis top then attempted to break into a house on Shepherd Street before driving away empty handed.
