Police continue to investigate a burglary, which occurred at a rural property in Colac Bay on Thursday morning.
At around 8am the owner has come across a group of people on the property attempting to steal fuel.
The owner has approached the group and been threatened with a firearm.
The firearm was not discharged and no one was injured during the incident.
The four offenders are described as being male, between 20-30 years old, and wearing high visibility tops.
Police would like to hear from anyone with information, which could assist our ongoing enquiries.
In particular, we are seeking information about a silver/grey 1999 Subaru Impreza hatchback and a grey/blue Toyota Starlet hatchback.
Both vehicles were seen in the area around the time of the incident.
The Toyota Starlet was later recovered in Thames Street, Riverton.
Police are also interested in the whereabouts of a red station wagon, which was seen in the vicinity at the time and may be able to assist in the investigation.
A second burglary was also reported to Police in the Round Hill area around the same time.
Firearms, meat, tools and a red and white Honda CRF230F dirt bike were stolen.
The investigation continues into both burglaries and whether the two are linked.
Anyone with any information, including sightings of the vehicles or motorcycle in the Western Southland area is encouraged to get in touch with Police, Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Baird said.
Information can be provided to Police on 105, or to Crime Stoppers anonymously, referencing file numbers 220331/3292 and 220331/2506.
