Moonee Valley Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a burglary at a games store in Moonee Ponds earlier this week.

It is understood two male offenders forced entry into the business on Puckle Street about 3am on Monday, 20 July.

Police were told they kicked the door in, climbed over the counter and stole various items including Pokemon cards.

They put the stolen items, believed to be worth around $15,000 in total, into a large black box, then fled in a dark-blue Mini hatch.

The game store was previously targeted in April 2025.

Detectives are aware of CCTV footage which has been widely shared on social media by the business.

The first offender was wearing an orange hi-vis coat, grey track pants and white gloves.

The vision shows the second offender wearing a black hoodie, a yellow hi-vis vest, black pants and black gloves.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, with CCTV/dashcam footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
