Without a staff member present, the pair paced to and fro and rummaged behind the counter but settled for stealing a box of lighters.
They fled in a waiting vehicle driven by a third male south along Nettle Drive.
Two hours earlier, the same pair armed with fishing knives are believed to have demanded money from a milk bar attendant on the corner of David Avenue and Camms Road, Cranbourne West.
They were scared off empty handed by the staff member and fled in a waiting car north along David Avenue.
The first male was wearing a black hooded CAT jumper with ‘Caterpillar’ written down the right sleeve, a white T-shirt, a pink/red belt, dark pants, grey runners and a stocking or mask over his face,
The second male was wearing a black PSC hooded jumper, white T-shirt, blue track pants with two white stripes on the legs, white runners and a stocking or mask over his face,
The car is described as a silver BA Ford Falcon sedan.
