Detective Senior Constable Derek Verity, of the Warrnambool police crime investigation unit, said a 2017 Mack Trident Tipper Truck (registration 1MF8AM) was stolen from the Corangamite Shire storage yard overnight on April 21.
He said locks were cut to gain entry to the yard, located on Camperdown's Gellie Street.
"Once inside the unknown offender, or offenders, have gained entry to the truck," he said.
"They have removed the GPS tracker and placed it on another vehicle in the yard.
"They have then stolen the Tipper which is valued at approximately $240,000."
Police have released an image of a truck that is identical to the stolen vehicle.
