Update armed robbery, Toowong
Detectives from Indooroopilly have charged a 26-year-old Wynnum man in relation to an armed robbery that occurred last year in Toowong.
It will be alleged that at around 10.45pm on October 9, 2012 the man entered the gaming lounge of a hotel on High Street carrying a red bag. He then produced a firearm and threatened the female gaming attendant before removing cash from the till.
He has been charged with two counts each of armed robbery and firearm offences, three of deprivation of liberty, and one count each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, disguised with intent to commit and damage evidence with intent.
He will appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on August 1.
Police are continuing to investigate a separate incident inside the hotel where, during the same night, a man also threatened two patrons and stole money from them.
