Police want Apex men

POLICE are seeking help to identify two men following the Melbourne CBD affray and robbery involving the Apex gang.
Taskforce Ares investigators want to speak to a young man in relation to a fight on Swanston Street between Flinders Street and Flinders Lane about 10.30pm on Saturday 12 March.
About 10 people were involved in the scuffle, just prior to a larger affray at City Square.
He’s perceived to be of African appearance, aged 17 to 20 years old, and more than 182 centimetres tall with a slim build.
He had cropped black hair and was wearing a red Red Wings jumper with white bands on the shoulders, neck and waist, black tracksuit pants with three white stripes down the side and black canvas shoes.
Police are also appealing for information following a robbery on the same night at Melbourne Central Railway Station.
They have been told that a 20-year-old woman was sitting on the ground holding her phone on Platform 3 about 12.10am on Sunday 13 March.
A young man was seen watching the woman before pointing at her while speaking to two acquaintances.
He then approached the woman, grabbed her phone and ran up the escalators.
He was last seen heading south on Swanston Street.
The man is perceived of be of African appearance, aged about 15 years old, and about 172cms tall with a slim build.
He was wearing a black hooded jumper with grey shoulders and a grey hood, black Adidas tracksuit pants with three white stripes down the side and black canvas shoes with black laces.
A third man that investigators were searching for made contact with police early on Friday 22 April and will be interviewed further.
Taskforce Ares investigators have so far charged 24 people with affray, riotous behaviour, robbery and theft over the 12 March incident.
Police intend to summons a further seven people to appear at court.
Most of those charged were aged under the age of 18.
