Warrnambool Crime Investigation Unit detectives called for public assistance to locate Keiarhn Carter and Lachlan Mitchell, who police would like to speak to in relation to an armed robbery committed at a motor home in Koroit Street.
The 23-year-old victim told police three men barged into the motor home and demanded cash.
Two of the men were allegedly armed with firearms.
The three men drove away in a red Holden stationwagon having allegedly taken the victim’s wallet and a cash tin. The victim was not injured.
A 26-year-old Warrnambool man was later arrested and charged with armed robbery, theft and aggravated burglary in relation to the incident. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Warrnambool Magistrates Court on November 29.
Police are still seeking the other two men involved.
Since the armed robbery, police have engaged in several pursuits involving the red Holden stationwagon in the Hamilton, Heywood and Warrnambool areas.
The red stationwagon was found by police in Banksia Court in Portland early Saturday morning. It is alleged the two men wanted in relation to the armed robbery have been switching cars to evade police, and ditched the red stationwagon for a dark-coloured Holden Commodore.
Police recovered the Commodore and arrested and charged a 29-year-old Warrnambool woman. She will appear in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Monday and is charged with theft of a number plate.
Detective Sergeant Chris Asenjo repeated a call for anyone with information about the whereabouts of Mitchell or Carter to immediately contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Police advice is not to approach the men wanted for questioning about an armed robbery and a number of police pursuits.
