On 7 April three men armed with a knife and baseball bat, with hoods concealing their faces, demanded money at a service station on Heatherton Road in Springvale about 7.55pm.
About 3pm the following day, two men brandishing a knife and a golf club entered a milk bar on View Road, Springvale.
One was wearing a grey hoodie and the other a blue hoodie. They demanded money from the man and woman running the shop, and fled on foot. Police are reviewing video footage from the scene.
