Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit detectives have released CCTV as part of their investigation into an attempted home invasion in Shepparton earlier this month.
Investigators have been told two unknown offenders attended an address on Paterson Road about 11.25pm on Wednesday, 21 August.
One offender was armed with a machete while the other appeared to be carrying a length of wood.
The pair attempted to force entry to the premises by kicking the front door but were unsuccessful.
The offenders were then startled by an occupant of the property who opened the door and witnessed the pair flee the scene.
They were seen entering a white SUV, possibly a Ford Territory, and driving away north on Paterson Road.
Detectives have released CCTV footage from the property and are seeking public assistance to identify the individuals captured who may be able to assist with enquiries.
The first offender is believed to be a man aged in his late teens or early 20s wearing a striped Everlast hooded jacket, long dark pants, black shoes and was holding a machete.
The second is also perceived to be a man in his late teens or early 20s with a large build, was wearing a grey face covering, long dark pants, black shoes and was holding a length of wood.
Anyone who recognises the people in the footage, has CCTV, dashcam footage or any other information that could assist police with their enquiries is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
