Police are investigating after a number of war medals and a soldier’s uniform were stolen during a burglary in Buninyong last month.

The burglary occurred at a Scott Street home sometime between July 16 and 30.

The victims, aged in their 70’s, returned home and discovered it had been ransacked.

World War II medals and a World War II uniform, including a long jacket belonging to the victim’s father, had been stolen.

A BMW sedan, paintings, jewellery, crystal glassware, even salt and pepper shakers were also stolen.

The BMW has been observed near Toorak Road and now bears stolen registration plates ARB069.
