A PAIR of balaclava-clad bandits doused their victims with capsicum spray during an armed robbery in Melbourne's north.

The bandana-wearing duo showered staff attendants with capsicum spray after one victim pulled out a baseball bat.

The robbers – decked out in hooded tops and tracksuit pants – stormed the Nicholson St milk bar in Meadow Heights at 8.45pm last Thursday, April 4.

Two female shop attendants watched on as one of the bandits manned the door and the other confronted them, producing a knife and making demands for cash.

One of the shop keepers, 22, startled the robber by brandishing a baseball bat in defence as he approached the register.

The move prompted the robber to use the capsicum spray, which he showered on both of them before emptying the till.

Both men ran away.

Fawkner Embona Taskforce detectives are investigating the incident and have released CCTV images of men they believe may be able to assist them with their investigation.

The first man is described as about 177cm tall with a medium build.

He was wearing a light blue jumper, blue tracksuit pants, a black balaclava and was carrying a black sports bag.

The second man is believed to be Caucasian, aged in his early 20s, about 173cm tall with an average build.

He was wearing a striped hooded top, a black beanie and had a yellow bandana covering his face at the time of the incident.
