The second offender is described as having a skinny to medium build, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a light coloured bandana, black gloves, black trousers or track pants with a white stripe down the sides, and dark coloured shoes with white soles.

They left in what police believe is a white 2016 Holden Commodore.
