Update 2 – Armed robberies, Logan
A second man has been charged following three alleged armed robberies of liquor stores across Logan on Saturday.
Shortly before 8pm last night police were called to an abandoned vehicle fire at the intersection of Argon and Cleves Street in Beenleigh.
Investigations indicate the car had been stolen from a Benz Street residence around 6.30pm after a woman was allegedly confronted and threatened by a man to hand over her keys.
As a result of inquiries, officers observed the man during a patrol of the area and confirmed he was wanted for a number of offences including three alleged armed robberies at Marsden, Waterford and North Maclean on Saturday afternoon.
The man was taken into custody a short time later without incident and charged with three counts each of armed robbery, one count each of unlawful use of a vehicle and unlawful possession of a weapon.
He is expected to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court this morning.
The green Kawasaki KLX 250 motorbike or similar alleged to have been used in the Logan robberies has not yet been located.
Investigations are continuing.
