Crasher plunders wedding

Police are hunting a brazen wedding thief who stole up to $10,000 from a wishing well box at Jack Rabbit Winery last Saturday.
“It was very opportunistic,” Ld Sen Const Johnson said.
“He’s realised he’s at the wrong wedding (reception) – I think he was meant to be next door. He’s seen the wishing well box and broken into it.”
The man allegedly stole a “large quantity of cash” from the box between 6pm and 11.15pm.
Police estimated up to $10,000 was stolen, Ld Sen Const Johnson said.
He believed the man used a tool to break into the box, which was padlocked and in the Bellarine winery’s foyer.
“It’s a clear Perspex box and he’s snatched some envelopes from it.”
Police posted on social media images of the alleged suspect and a white utility they described as “a vehicle of interest”.
Police urged anyone with information about the theft to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, quoting reference number 180079762.
