An Outer East sports club was allegedly broken into last week and both the club and police are appealing to the community for help with catching the thieves.
The Eastern Raptors Rugby League Club in Boronia has taken to social media after the alleged crime which has left the club ‘feeling violated’ after cash and food items were stolen between June 13 and June 14.
In a statement released by club President Michael Simpson on Thursday 20 June, Mr Simpson said they were sad to report that their Raptor clubrooms at Colchester Reserve were recently broken into with the thieves taking their Square Point of Sale system, cash register, most of their kitchen equipment and our stock.
“Fortunately, they did not get our training equipment, merchandise or trophies and memorabilia,” he said.
“I speak on behalf of the whole committee when I say that we are feeling violated, angry, and disappointed that someone could do this to anyone, let alone our small club.”
Knox Crime Investigation Unit detectives are currently investigating the burglary.
“It is understood unknown offenders forced entry to the clubrooms on Beresford Drive between 9pm on 13 June and 5pm on 14 June,” said a police media representative.
“The offenders stole an amount of cash and food items and the investigation is ongoing.” they said.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
