Detectives from Hume Crime Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses after a woman was approached and followed by two males from Craigieburn to Mickleham last month.
Investigators have been told the 19-year-old Mickleham woman was waiting for a bus on Lygon Drive, Craigieburn around 8.20pm on Wednesday 26 January, when she observed two unknown males in a passing vehicle waving and smiling at her.
The vehicle did multiple laps up and down the street past the victim, then the passenger got out of the vehicle and stood at the bus stop near the victim.
The victim got onto the bus about 8.43pm, then the passenger returned to his vehicle, which followed the bus to Balmain Road, Mickleham.
The victim exited the bus and observed the vehicle and ran down Balmain Road.
The car then pulled up near her and the passenger got out of the vehicle and grabbed her from behind. The victim broke free and ran to a nearby house on Burwood Street and spoke to a resident, who assisted her in calling for help.
Nobody was physically injured in the incident.
The vehicle is described as a black Chrysler 300C model with black and white registration plates.
Detectives have released CCTV, and computer-generated images of two men who they believe can assist with their investigation.
The male driver is described as having a beard and wearing a red snap-back cap.
The male passenger is described as being in his mid-30s, about 172cm tall with a muscular build and black beard. He was wearing a black, white and blue stripey polo t-shirt, baggy pants and black runners.
