Police want to speak with these two women

Investigators from Melbourne Embona Task Force are hoping to identify two women following a robbery where a woman was assaulted in Carlton last month.

Police have been told the victim, a 49-year-old woman, was entering an apartment building on Elgin St when she noticed two other women by the front door about 2am on June 21.

As she let herself in the women followed her before grabbing and assaulting her.

The victim tried to flee, but the offenders continued to threaten and assault her before stealing the woman’s handbag.

Investigators have released a CCTV still of two women who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
