Police investigate armed robbery in Yarraville

Police are appealing for public assistance following an armed robbery in Yarraville earlier this year.

Investigators have been told a car pulled over to the side of Somerville Road to speak to a pedestrian about 2.40am on July 11.

It is believed two unknown male offenders approached the victim inside the car while they were parked, before threatening him with a machete.

Police have been told the unknown pair made demands for drugs, cash and air pods.

During the confrontation, the victim had his hand cut with the machete.

Officers believe the victim then drove off, while one of the offenders hung on to the window.

After a short while, the victim stopped the car along Geelong Road and ran to safety.

The offender took off with cash and a pair of air pods.

Both males were wearing all black clothing and balaclavas.

Anyone with information can contact on Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
