Police seek help to locate pair after they abscond from Melbourne airport

Police are continuing to search for a man and a woman after they fled authorised officers at Melbourne airport this morning.

The pair disembarked a flight from Canberra just before 11am.

They were spoken to by authorised officers and informed they would be required to quarantine for 14 days as per current CHO directions.

The pair then ran from the officer, fleeing the airport and were picked up by a vehicle outside.

The 26-year-old man and 24-year-old woman who normally reside in NSW are believed to be in the Sunbury area.

Police have issued images of the pair along with an image of a vehicle similar to one they were travelling in in the hope someone recognises them and contacts police.

The current CHO directions are a vital step in order to protect the Victorian community and slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Anyone with 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
