Two young men are still out there after they tried to violently carjack three cars in Gippsland last week.

Two men have managed to avoid police after they attempted to violently carjack three cars in Morwell last Monday.

Police have now released CCTV footage and a computer generated image to help them find the men.

On October 31 the two male offenders, aged in their late teens or early 20s, attempted to steal three different cars.

During the first incident, a 20-year-old man and his female passenger were travelling along Churchill Rd when one of the offenders flagged them down by standing in the middle of the road about 9.20pm.

To avoid hitting the man the driver stopped the care. Then a second man appeared and tried to open the passenger side door.

The offenders were hitting the car but victims managed to lock their doors and drive away.

Just fifteen minutes later they struck again. This time targeting a 25-year-old man returning to his car at a fast-food outlet on Princes Drive.

The two men approached the man and asked for a lift and cigarettes, which he refused.

One of the offenders then pulled out a knife, demanding the man’s car keys.

The victim managed to get a screwdriver from his car and fend off the attackers before driving away.

A pizza delivery driver was their final victim for the night. As he returned to his car about 9.47pm after delivering a pizza he was approached by the two offenders who demanded his car keys.

After the victim refused, one of the offenders threatened the victim with a knife.

The victim began running towards the Princes Drive pizza store and the man armed with the knife attempted to stab him.

He’s managed to make it inside the store safely and the offenders fled on foot.

None of the victims were physically injured during the incidents.

Investigators have released CCTV footage and a computer-generated image of a man they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.

The first man is perceived to be caucasian, aged in his late teens to early 20s, about 177cm tall and wearing a black hooded jacket, black sunglasses and black tracksuit pants.
