Belmont Police are investigating an unusual event that occurred around 3am on Sunday 14 June 2020.
A man and a dog were in the car park of a shopping centre on Wright Street Cloverdale. The man hopped into an empty shopping trolley and headed down a ramp. The problem was that at the end of that ramp was a metal security gate.
As the trolley headed down the ramp, it gained speed until it collided heavily into the security gate causing around $3,500 worth of damage. We believe the man inside the trolley was uninjured as he and the dog left the area immediately afterwards.
Police have released a CCTV image of a man who they believe may be able to assist them with their investigation.
The man in the trolley is described as: Light skinned, medium build and short brown hair. He was wearing a grey, white and black jacket and long dark pants.
We have also included an image of the dog who was seen with the men.
