Detectives from Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit are investigating a serious assault which occurred in Shepparton late last year.
It is understood two men forced entry into an Ashendon Street business about 9pm on 15 November 2019.
Armed with handguns, the pair made threats to kill the victim, a 50-year-old Shepparton man and made demands for a large sum of money.
They fled the scene empty handed.
The victim was not physically injured during the incident.
The men were perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, one with a large build and wearing sunglasses.
“Our victim was going about his normal business when he was violently threatened. An ordeal like this has long term effects on a person and we take this incredibly seriously,” Detective Sergeant Mark Crossley said.
“We are confident that we will be able to locate these offenders and are urging anyone who might have information about this incident to come forward to police,” he said.
Investigators are urging anyone who may have seen the men in the area or with any information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
