Woman escapes attempted armed robbery uninjured

Police are investigating an attempted armed robbery in Pelican Waters on the Sunshine Coast on 11 June.

At about 6.30am, a Jaguar was travelling north along Bledisloe Boulevard when the driver, a 59-year-old Pelican Waters woman, was approached by an unknown man, armed with what appeared to be a firearm.

The man demanded the car before the woman left the scene with her car keys. She was not physically injured.

The man was unable to start the car and left the scene in a stolen Audi SQ5.

Police and POLAIR tracked the car as it continued driving dangerously through parts of Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast before police lost track.

The Audi was abandoned along Eliza Street in Clayfield, after it crashed into a pole on Alma Road around 2.40am.

A gel-blaster was found inside the car.

The Audi was stolen from property along Gordons Crossing in Joyner on Monday 10 June.

No one is currently in custody and investigations are continuing.

Anyone with information that may assist with investigations is urged to contact police.
