Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives are hoping to identity two men in relation to an affray and theft at a Narre Warren shopping centre last week.
Investigators have been told a man was walking out of an Overland Drive retail store when he was approached by two unknown men about 9.30pm on Thursday 7 May.
The men confronted the male victim and assaulted him before stealing his wallet.
The pair fled on foot once security intervened and drove away in a white coloured vehicle.
The victim, a 19-year-old Hampton Park man, sustained minor physical injuries during the incident.
Detectives have released images of two men who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
The first man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, aged in his mid-20s, has dreadlocks, and was wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt.
The second man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, aged in his mid-20s, has short dark hair and was wearing a black jumper.
Detectives urge anyone who recognise the men or with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
