James Hird's car stolen after intruders burgle Toorak home

James Hird's car has been stolen after intruders broke into his Toorak home, in Melbourne's south-east, overnight.

Police say the robbery took place between midnight and 1:30am while the former Essendon coach and his family were at home, but they were not hurt.

A silver Audi Q7 station wagon, registration XCA-676, was stolen.

Police also believe electronics were taken from the home.

"Stonnington Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding an aggravated burglary in Toorak overnight," a Victoria Police statement said.

"The occupants, who were home at the time, were not disturbed during the incident."

The former Brownlow medallist was a central figure in the Essendon Football Club's supplements saga that engulfed the team from 2013.

Anyone with any information about the robbery is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
