Detectives have launched a fresh appeal as part of ongoing investigations into the armed robbery of two jewellery stores in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast which are believed to be linked.
On May 29 this year a masked male entered a jewellery business on King Street in Buderim armed with a screwdriver before confronting two staff members and demanding items.
The employees complied before the male fled on foot with a sum of cash and jewellery.
On September 18, a man matching the same description went into a jewellery store on Latrobe Terrace in Paddington and threatened a woman working there around 4pm.
He produced a knife before leaving the store along Given Terrace. No property was stolen and the woman was not physically injured.
The man is described as having an olive complexion and a muscular build, around 170cm tall, solid build, with a shaved head and short facial growth being black and grey in colour.
Initial inquiries indicate he may have had a sleeve tattoo.
Police believe the two incidents may be linked and are urging anyone who recognises the man in the images and to come forward.
