Car filled with Christmas presents stolen in Melbourne

A car filled with Christmas presents was stolen from a home in Melbourne’s north-east on Christmas Day.

The black Jeep Grand Cherokee was parked in the driveway of a Doreen property on Sunday when it was stolen by an unknown offender around 3.30pm.

The owner of the vehicle, Ashley Garraway, had been attending a Christmas function on Laurimar Hill Drive where the car, with registration plates HKM314, was parked.

The Jeep contained Christmas presents given to the victim’s children earlier that day.

"If we get the car back that would be fantastic and if someone is caught for it, then we would be happy," Mr Garraway told 9NEWS.

The car was later sighted at a South Morang service station at about 4pm where the offender allegedly stole petrol.

Police are now looking to speak with a man who they believe would be able to help with their enquiries.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
