Victoria Police have launched a special operation to track down an alleged burglar, dubbed the “Geelong Night Stalker”, who is targeting homes across Melbourne’s south east.

The man is believed to be behind attempted break-ins and trespassing incidents across multiple homes, spanning the suburbs of Bell Post Hill, Highton, Rippleside, Torquay and Werribee.

He has successfully broken into two properties, but left empty handed both times.
