On Tuesday Timothy Barden, 39, of Terang, pleaded guilty in the Warrnambool County Court to robbery as well as two counts each of intentionally causing injury and possession of methamphetamine.
Dylan Cosgrove, 32, of Koroit, and Sean Kurukchi last week indicated they would plead guilty to armed robbery and two counts of intentionally causing injury in relation to the same incident.
The pleas will all be heard in the Melbourne County Court on May 8 before Judge Paul Higham.
Police will allege a drug buy was set up in the early hours of April 4, 2018, at the Garvoc public toilets.
Police previously alleged in court there had been incidents involving men which had led to grudges.
