Robberies with violence, Logan
A man has been charged and police are hunting for another man following two violent robberies in the Logan area overnight.
It will be alleged around 11.50pm last night a 20-year-old woman was sitting in her vehicle stopped at the intersection of Kingston and Wembley Roads at Logan Central when two men approached.
One of the men allegedly opened the driver’s side door and ordered her out of the vehicle before grabbing her and pulling her from the seat.
He then allegedly punched the woman a number of times before the two men fled in the vehicle south on Kingston Road.
The woman sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
It will be further alleged a short time later a group of four men attended a licensed premises on Wembley Road at Logan Central in the stolen vehicle.
The car travelled through the drive-through area of the business where the men then allegedly attempted to steal alcohol.
Two male staff members intervened and were allegedly assaulted by the men before the group fled the scene.
The two victims were not seriously injured.
The stolen vehicle was later found abandoned on Mayes Avenue at Kingston.
Police have since arrested a 23-year-old Deception Bay man and charged him with two counts of robbery in company using personal violence and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
He is due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on December 26.
The driver of the stolen car is described as Aboriginal in appearance, aged in his late teens and was wearing a white polo shirt with socks on his hands.
