Police have released CCTV as part of their investigation into an arson at a barbershop in Brunswick earlier this week.
Two unknown offenders attended the Union Street business about 4am on Monday, 6 May.
The offenders have thrown a fuel cannister through the front window of the barbershop before tossing a cigarette lighter inside through the broken window.
The lighter failed to ignite the fuel with the offenders only managing to burn themselves and a small amount of accelerant outside the store.
The pair fled the scene after they were disturbed by a witness.
They were seen running through a garden bed and into a dark coloured SUV which sped off in an easterly direction on Little Gold Street.
Anyone who recognises the persons in the CCTV footage or has information that can assist police with their enquiries is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
