Police are appealing for the public's help after thieves made off with more than a tonne of copper cable from a business at Thornton.
At around 10:30 on Tuesday night, an unknown number of people attended the premises on Glenwood Drive and stole 1.5 tonnes of cable contained in a black rubber sleeve.
Police estimate the cable is worth approximately $30,000 dollars and believe the offenders used a vehicle to transport the stolen goods from the site.
Local businesses are urged to be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour, with police warning the offenders may try to sell the material to scrap metal dealers.
If the cables are burnt, they can emit plumes of thick black smoke.
Anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity in the area should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
