Police hunt armed offenders
POLICE have released CCTV images of two people they would like to speak with in relation to several armed robbery offences in the Metropolitan North Region and the North Coast Region.
The attached photographs are from a hotel in Kedron that was held up by two people last night.
Initial information suggests that shortly before 11pm, two people entered the Gympie Road hotel and presented what appeared to be a firearm and a metal bar demanding cash.
The attendant has complied, and the pair fled the scene with a quantity of cash.
The man is described as around 28-32 years of age, Caucasian with a proportionate build, around 180cm tall and light brown hair.
The woman is described as around 28-32 years of age, Caucasian, 170cm tall with a proportionate build and dark (previously blonde) shoulder length hair.
