Geelong Myki machines targetted

Police have released photos and video of two men sought after seven Myki machines around Geelong were damaged earlier this year.
Police from the Transit Divisional Response Unit said two men went to Marshall Railway Station on 4 April about 11.40pm in a white or silver Ford XR6 utility.
They unsuccessfully attempted to force open a Myki machine and left after about 15 minutes.
Investigators believed the same pair tried again at Corio Railway Station on Sunday 24 April about 10.35pm.
Police believe the same pair may be linked to five other incidents of damage to Myki machines in Geelong:
• Corio Railway Station on Monday 4 March about 12.56am;
• Corio Railway Station on Monday 28 March about 3.18am;
• North Shore Railway Station on Sunday 3 April about 11.39pm;
• Marshall Railway Station on Monday 18 April about 3.50am;
• North Shore Railway Station on Sunday 1 May about 10.23pm.
On each occasion they were unable to gain access to the Myki machines but caused extensive damage.
Anyone who may be able to identify the pair is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppersvic.com.au.
