Boroondara Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance following a burglary and theft of four luxury cars in Balwyn North last week.

It is understood a man gained entry to a property on Greythorn Road about 1.30am on 15 August.

Once inside the property, the man stole four sets of car keys, a wallet and air pods.

Over the course of three hours the man stole each car from a garage and carport, one by one, while a family were asleep inside the house.

The stolen cars are:

• a red 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista Coupe with Victorian registration AYV298 (worth approximately $1M). It has a distinctive black and white stripe down the centre.

• a green/teal 2024 BMW M3 Wagon with Victorian registration DFR369

• a black 2009 Mercedes CLS63 with Victorian registration XLE930

• a black 2011 BMW 135I with Victorian registration XTB851

All four vehicles remain outstanding.

Detectives have released an image and CCTV of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.

Police have also released images of the stolen Ferrari and BMW.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
