Police in Victoria are looking for a suspect who drove a stolen vehicle into a residence, causing significant property damage before fleeing the scene.

Police say a resident from the home reported the crash on March 25, and investigators could not find the suspect despite help from a police dog unit.

Investigators have since determined that the vehicle was stolen.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or may have dashcam footage of the incident to contact investigators to help resolve the case.
