Police are investigating the fifth ram-raid on a luxury fashion store in Melbourne in a month after thieves crashed through a Fendi store in the early hours of Tuesday.
The raid on the Collins Street store comes after Dior, Louis Vuitton and David Jones were all similarly targeted in recent weeks.

Police said offenders used a vehicle to crash through the front windows of Fendi shortly before 6am.
“The offenders fled the scene in two vehicles last seen travelling south along St Kilda Road,” officers said in a statement.
“Roller doors prevented the burglars from accessing the store, therefore, nothing was stolen.
“Investigators are determining whether the burglary is linked to ram raids at several other nearby luxury stores in recent weeks.”
The current spate of hits began on March 6, when the Dior boutique, just a five-minute walk from Fendi on Collins Street, was ram-raided by a black sedan and an unknown number of offenders fled with some items.
Dior was then targeted again on March 21 when police say a ute was reversed into the store at about 4am.
