Warning for motorists

North Brisbane detectives are investigating two robberies with violence, and one attempted robbery with violence that occurred earlier this week in Chermside and Toowong.

Investigations to-date suggest that about 9am on Tuesday October 28, a woman had just entered a car parked on Meemar Street Chermside, when a man who was in company with a woman, opened the passenger door and asked her for the time, sitting in the passenger’s seat.

The woman told the man to get out of the car and began to push him out.  At this time, the other woman opened the driver’s side and pulled her out of the car, before sitting in the driver’s seat and driving east down Meemar Street.

Later that afternoon, about 3.30pm, a man and woman approached an elderly woman who was driving a vehicle from a car park onto Jephson Street, Toowong.

The woman entered the passenger side of the vehicle and the man has opened the driver’s side and pulled the woman out of the driver’s seat, forcing her onto the ground outside the car.  He then sat in the driver’s seat and left the car park at speed onto Jephson Street, heading towards Moggill Road.

It is believed that the same two people attempted to gain entry to another vehicle parked on Vera Street, Toowong at around 3.10pm, the same day. A woman was looking in the back passenger’s seat, when she noticed a woman open the front passenger’s door, sit inside and instruct a man to enter the driver’s side.

She challenged the pair, pulling the woman out of the passenger seat.  The pair then fled the scene on-foot.

 None of the victims sustained any serious physical injuries.

The man is described as being around 25-30 years and Caucasian in appearance, with a thin build around 178cm tall. His face is described as being gaunt with pointed features, saggy eyes and short fair hair.

 She is described as described around 25-30 years and Caucasian in appearance, with an average build around 168am tall.  She has dark hair with plum-red highlights, dark eyes and distinct eyebrows.

 

Detectives urge anyone with information, or who may have seen either the man or woman, to contact Crime Stoppers or Policelink.
