Three men have attacked staff working at Mt Baw Baw before stealing a snowmobile.
The disturbing incident happened on Tuesday night.
Police have been told the men assaulted five staff working at a business in the village about 7.30pm.
The three offenders then stole a Ski-Doo before fleeing the scene.
The Ski-Doo has since been located.
Three of the male victims had to be taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The other two victims were treated at the scene.
The three offenders are described as aged in their mid-twenties, perceived to be Caucasian and one has dreadlocks.
