Masked man in attack

Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance following a robbery in Narre Warren on 19 October.
Investigators have been told a 17-year-old boy had been walking along Maramba Drive near the intersection of Deanswood Way about 7pm when he noticed three males on the opposite side of the road, one of whom was wearing a mask.
It is alleged the masked male, followed by the other two, approached the victim, punching and kicking him to the ground.
He then demanded the victim’s bag.
When the victim refused, it’s alleged one of the other men kicked him to the head.
The victim handed the bag over to the group, who fled along Kendall Avenue.
Police have been told a female passerby who saw the incident chased the group down the street in a vehicle before confronting two of the males, who eventually gave her the bag.
The bag was returned to the victim, however it was missing a small amount of cash and a laptop, which has been described as an Apple MacBook Air with a “Beats by Dre” sticker on the inside.
The victim was not injured during the incident.
Police have released images and CCTV vision of three men who they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.
The masked male is perceived to be of Asian appearance, aged in his late teens and about 170cm tall with a tanned complexion.
He had a septum piercing and was wearing a green singlet at the time.
The second male was taller than the first and aged in his late teens with dark hair and a beard.
He was wearing white/light grey pants, a grey track top with a black logo on one side of the chest and brown hiking/work boots, and wore diamond studs in his ears.
The third male was perceived to be Middle Eastern in appearance, aged in his late teens and about 170cm tall.
He was wearing a denim jacket, white T-shirt, black pants and a cap.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
