Police are investigating a burglary at a Lysterfield service station that is believed linked to an attempted ATM theft in Dandenong in July.
Two male offenders allegedly forced their way into the Lysterfield Road servo about 5.40am on 5 July, stealing a number of confectionary items before fleeing.
On this occasion, the males were using a blue early to mid-90s E-Class W210 Mercedes Benz with no front bonnet ornament.
Police believe the pair also tried to allegedly steal an ATM from a market on Clow Street about 3am the following day.
They were unsuccessful and left the scene empty-handed, police say.
Investigators from Greater Dandenong Crime Investigation Unit have released photos and close-circuit television of two males they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries, along with pictures of the Mercedes.
The first male is perceived to be Caucasian, tall with a thin build, large nose and has dark features.
He was wearing a black jacket, dark jeans and black and white shoes
The second male was described as having a solid build and had his face covered with a surgical mask.
He was wearing a camouflage hoodie, blue over black jacket, dark pants and tan footwear.
Police are also releasing a photo of two men from the Dandenong attempted burglary.
The white Toyota Hilux utility used during the Dandenong burglary has not yet been found.
Anyone who recognises the men or the vehicle or with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
