Crossbows, knives pinched from Melb shop

Two crossbows are among a haul of weapons stolen during a burglary at a Melbourne hunting store.

Two men broke into the Oakleigh store on Saturday morning and took 30 minutes to select their loot: two crossbows, nine bows and 13 hunting knives.

Victoria Police on Tuesday said the duo gained entry by tearing off security bars with a rope attached to a ute, which was last seen driving along Warrigal Road with the tow rope trailing behind.
