Two people have been charged after an alleged early morning theft at a Shepparton service station on the weekend.
Police said cash and cigarettes were demanded from a staff member at the 7-Eleven service station on Wanganui Rd at 5am on Sunday, January 29.
Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit Detective Senior Sergeant Lance Wiltshire said police searched a Shepparton home and a Mooroopna home on Sunday and seized a large amount of cigarettes and money from the two homes.
A 35-year-old Mooroopna woman and a 34-year-old Shepparton woman have been charged with theft.
Both women have been bailed to appear in Shepparton Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Det Sen Constable Wiltshire said police believe two members of the public — with one possibly a delivery driver — were leaving the service station around 5am, and are keen to speak to these people.
The witnesses can contact Det Sen Constable Wiltshire at Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit on 5820 5777 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
