Mail thieves target apartment block in Melbourne's CBD

Three people have been caught on camera stealing mail from the same apartment building in Melbourne’s CBD.

Video of the first theft shows a male offender pulling a number of items from the mail boxes of the Collins Street block at 1.30am on December 29.

Police believe the man, who was dressed in a grey hoodie at the time and a cap, gained access to the building by following residents through the entrance.

He is described as being Caucasian in appearance, aged between 25-30 years old and has an average build.

Just two weeks later, two different offenders - a man and a woman - targeted the same block.

The footage shows the pair swiftly raiding the ground floor mail room, stealing a large number of items, about 11pm on January 7.

It’s believed the duo accessed the building in the same way the first offender did- by following residents.

The female thief is about 20-25 years old with long black hair and has a thin build.

She was wearing green pants and dark blue runners, and was carrying a black canvas back with a ‘Cotton On’ logo on the front.

The man is perceived as Indian or Middle Eastern in appearance and aged between 20-25 years old with a dark beard and moustache.

He was wearing grey pants, a black jacket with white writing on the back, and a black cap.

Investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
