Police are hoping to identity two men after a car was set alight in Cranbourne North two weeks ago.

Police believe two unknown males approached a car parked in a driveway on Freshfields Drive about 2.30am on Saturday, 22 August.

Police allege one male opened a plastic bottle and poured an accelerant across the car before setting it alight.

Both men then fled on foot in a southerly direction towards Thompsons Road.

A male occupant, who was inside at the time, observed the blaze outside and used a hose to extinguish the flames, police say.

The car sustained major damage to its exterior, but no one was injured during the incident.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives have released images of two men who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.

Both males were wearing hooded jumpers, track pants and sneakers at the time.

Anyone who recognises the men or with information relating to the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
