Police investigate Sunbury robbery

Police are investigating two armed robberies in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, including Sunbury.

Two male offenders arrived at a service station on Hume Highway, Craigieburn in a white Volvo V60 about 10.50pm on Sunday, April 20.

Police said they jumped over the counter, one armed with a machete, and stole cigarettes from behind the counter and cash from the tills.

Police were told the offenders attempted to break into another service station on Hanson Road, Craigieburn prior to the incident but were unsuccessful.

Police believe the same offenders stole a till from a fast-food restaurant on Vineyard Road, Sunbury about 12.25am on Monday, April 21.

The offenders fled the scene in a white Volvo which was waiting outside.

No one was physically injured during the incidents.

Police said the two offenders and the driver of the Volvo remain outstanding at this stage.

The vehicle was stolen from Brighton East, and has since been recovered in Berwick.

Investigators have released CCTV footage and images of two people they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.

Anyone who information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
