Vehicle stolen with campers inside in Cumberland River

Torquay Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for information following the theft of a vehicle from Cumberland River early this morning.

Investigators have been told the vehicle with a camper trailer and annexe was parked at a rest stop on Great Ocean Road.

Around midnight a male offender has jumped in the vehicle with the male and female occupants, along with two dogs, sleeping inside and drove off.

The 20-year-old Wallan woman was dragged a short distance inside the annexe of the camper trailer before falling onto the road, causing a minor injury.

The 20-year-old Wallan man remained inside the attached camper trailer until the vehicle broke down in Lorne and the offender fled on foot.

One of the dogs, Pablo, is still missing and investigators have released an image of him in the hope someone may have seen him.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
