Victoria Police have called on the public to identify two males after a speed camera car was pelted with eggs three months ago.
The event occurred at 9:50pm on Monday 18 July 2022, when two men approached a covert speed camera car on Hughes Parade in Reservoir, in Melbourne’s north.
Police say the men threw a number of eggs at the vehicle, forcing the operator to exit the vehicle. No injuries have been reported.
Both suspects were wearing surgical face masks, hoodies, and camouflage trousers. After egging the vehicle, the men fled on foot in an unknown direction.
Melbourne’s speed camera cars have been targeted by attackers in at least five incidents this year alone.
Unmarked speed camera cars are managed by contractors and add more than $300 million in fines to the state’s coffers.
Victoria Police have released an image of the men alleged to have been involved in the latest incident, and are calling on any witnesses or those with dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
