Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating after a ute was set on fire in Hastings last month.
It is understood two males attended the driveway of a service station on Frankston-Flinders Road about 4.45am on 4 February.
One of the males slid underneath the unoccupied parked ute and pierced the fuel tank.
He returned to the ute moments later to light the leaked fuel on fire, causing the vehicle to catch on fire.
The pair fled the scene and were last seen on Frankston-Flinders Road.
Detectives have released an image and CCTV of two males who may be able to assist with their enquiries.
One of the males was riding a scooter and is described as Caucasian in appearance, with a medium build, and wearing denim shorts, a grey t-shirt and no shoes.
The other male is also described as Caucasian in appearance and with a thin build.
He was wearing black tracksuit pants with paint stains, a blue t-shirt, black neck scarf, a cap and black ankle socks. He was also not wearing shoes.
Anyone who has CCTV, dashcam footage or any other information that could assist police with their enquiries is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
