Australia police are reeling after a man was caught on CCTV allegedly stealing a Versace necklace with a fishing rod.
In a three-hour heist, the man managed to hook and reel in the expensive piece of jewellery off a mannequin inside a Melbourne high-end store.
Security footage shows the balding man in grey tracksuit pants and a blue Lonsdale windbreaker attempting to steal the necklace with a fishing rod at around 2am, on February 24 at the Little Collins St shop.
Investigators have released images and CCTV footage of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.
The man is described as Caucasian, about 180cm tall, with short, fair, receding hair, aged between 40-50 years.
