Tom and Erin’s Nursery owner Tom Powell disturbed a man breaking into the Stanley business about 4am on Sunday.
The man had used bolt cutters to cut a lock to access cash.
Mr Powell chased the man, tackled him to the ground and became involved in a scuffle.
The offender, who is thought to be aged 55 to 65, ran into a white 2015 model Nissan Qashqai.
Mr Powell punched the rear window out as the man fled with cash.
Leading Senior Constable Andrew Deegan is trying to track down the man, who may be in a hire car.
