Westgate detectives are investigating an assault that occurred in Point cook in late October.

They turned the power off to the property and waited until the victim, a 44-year-old man, came outside to check the power box.

It believed the two men assaulted the victim before producing a handgun and pointing it at the victim.

They left the property and were last seen getting into a white sedan driving east on Flatbush Avenue.

The victim received minor facial injuries during the incident.

Police believe the same men attended the address on bicycles on 25 October and turned off the power to the property. They left a short time later with no incident occurring as the resident wasn't home.

One male is perceived to be Caucasian with a heavy Australian accent white beard, wearing dark clothing and a balaclava.

The other male is perceived as being Caucasian with a heavy Australian accent wearing dark clothing and a balaclava.
