■ Banyule-Nillumbik Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance following a series of burglaries in the northern suburbs. Investigators have been told three men in an allegedly stolen grey Ford Kuga attended a chemist on Main Rd, Eltham about 12.46am on February 14. They exited the vehicle but were unable to break into the chemist but were unsuccessful. The trio drove from the scene and police believe they were involved in a break-in at a salon in Mernda about 1.27am. Hair care products and equipment were stolen from the Mernda Village Drive with an estimated value of $9000. Investigators believe the same crew also attended a hairdressers on Hazel Glen Drive, Doreen, on the 14th and stole $25,000 worth of equipment and product. Investigators have released CCTV and images of three people who may be able to assist with the investigation.
