Queensland Police are appealing for help from the public after a man in a clown mask robbed a store at gunpoint.
The incident took place on December 29, when a man with a gun robbed a petrol station in Brisbane.
Detectives from the Upper Mount Gravatt Criminal Investigation Branch have released CCTV the robbery. In the footage, the man can be seen climbing over a fence, running into the store and waving a gun in the face of an employee. He can then be seen fleeing the scene, carrying the cash drawer from the till.
“Around 7.30pm, a man wearing a clown mask entered the business on Cavendish Road and demanded cash, before threatening an employee with what appeared to be a gun,” police said in a statement.
“The man left the scene on foot with a quantity of cash.”
The employee was not harmed during the incident.
