Police are searching for two men who allegedly stole a car from an Eaglemont home while pretending to inspect it. The car had been advertised for sale online by the 26-year-old victim who had been contacted by two men who were interested in buying the 2005 white Subaru Impreza. The offenders organised to view the vehicle as potential buyers and met with the victim on Banksia St just before 6.30pm on Wednesday, 1 March 2017. One of the men left shortly after in a red Holden Commodore Ute while the other man pretended to inspect the vehicle before driving off in it while the bonnet was still raised.
