Police have released new information regarding two persons of interest as they continue investigations into an armed robbery and assault incident at Morayfield yesterday, 14 September.
Investigations indicate that around 5:45am, a man and a woman attended a service station on the Bruce Highway, where they proceeded to assault two separate women and steal their vehicles, but were unsuccessful.
The man, believed to be a 35-year-old from Granville, is described as Caucasian in appearance, with short, dark, buzz-cut-style hair and brown eyes. The man also has distinctive tattoos on the left side of his face and along his left arm and hand.
The woman, believed to be a 26-year-old from Maryborough, is described as Caucasian in appearance, with blonde hair with brown regrowth, dark-coloured eyes, and distinctive minor tattoos on both sides of her face, near her eyes.
The pair then approached a red Mitsubishi Outlander and assaulted its driver, before they were able to steal the vehicle and flee the area, heading north on the Bruce Highway.
During these incidents, it’s understood that the two offenders threatened drivers with a firearm.
At 11:15am, police received information that the Outlander had crashed into trees near a property on Old Caloundra Road in Glenview, and that a man and woman were seen fleeing the area on foot.
Officers declared an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act; however, following an extensive search of the area, the pair were unable to be located, but did locate a homemade firearm near the vehicle.
Officers have seized both the Mitsubishi and the firearm for forensic testing.
Investigators are appealing to the man and woman to contact police and surrender themselves into custody.
