About 1.30am on Friday, December 12, 2014, two men entered a newsagency on Meroo Street, Bomaderry, and approached a male employee, who was preparing to open the store.
Police were told the men threatened the employee with a knife and demanded money before leading him to the rear of the store where he was tied up.
The men then poured accelerant over the employee’s head and lit him on fire, before running from the location.
The 45-year-old male employee was able to extinguish the flames but sustained injuries.
Detectives from Shoalhaven Local Area Command are investigating the incident and have released CCTV images of two men who they believe will be able to assist with inquiries.
One of the men was described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his late 20s to mid 30s, and wearing a black beanie, black hooded jumper, black pants, and white running shoes.
The other man was described as being aged early to mid 20s, and wearing a black beanie, blue hooded jumper, black pants with a white stripe, and white running shoes.
Anyone with information can phone Nowra Police Station on 4421 9699 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
