Armed Robbery, Upper Coomera
Police are investigating following several incidents in the northern Gold Coast last night.
Preliminary investigations indicate at about 10pm two men, one of whom was masked and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, approached a 42-year-old male occupant at the front door of his Lysterfield Rise home, Upper Coomera.
The masked man threatened the victim, demanding keys to the victims’ vehicle before discharging the firearm into the front door.
The occupant and the two men then entered the house where a 40-year-old female occupant handed over the car keys to the men.
The two men are not known to the occupants and no injuries were sustained during the incident.
The men have then driven away in the occupant’s gold Kia Sportage.
Around 2am, the stolen Kia crashed into a light pole at Chisholm Road, Carrara.
The men fled the scene to Farro Court, Carrara where they smashed the window of a house, forcing entry to the home.
The men then threatened a 69-year-old female occupant, pushing her over, demanding the keys to her vehicle.
The men have then driven away in the woman’s black BMW X5 Queensland registration 50BOS (see picture – not actual vehicle).
The woman suffered minor injuries to her knees.
Police are appealing for information in relation to the current whereabouts of the stolen black BMW X5.
Anyone who sees this vehicle is advised to ring 000 and not to approach as it is believed that the occupants are armed.
One man is described as Islander in appearance, 175cm tall, of average build, with brown eyes and short black hair.
The second man is described as Caucasian in appearance and speaking with an Australian accent.
