Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance after an elite racing bicycle was stolen from a home in Capel Sound, early last month.
Investigators believe unknown offenders have gained access to the garage at the Brendel Street home, between 5 and 12 February.
The bicycle, thought to be worth around $8000, is distinctive in style with its DRAPAC racing team colours paint scheme.
The bicycle holds great sentimental value to the victim, given their association with the now disbanded DRAPAC team.
Investigators have released images of bicycles that are similar in appearance to the bike that was stolen.
Anyone with information or dashcam/CCTV footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
