Three people have been arrested after a vehicle allegedly evaded police and the subsequent discovery of a hydroponic drugs set up in a unit on the Gold Coast in the early hours of this morning.
Around 12.40am police were called to a unit on 28th Avenue at Palm Beach due to a report of man armed with a firearm allegedly attempting to rob the occupants.
The man left in a white Toyota Hiace which was seen by police on the Gold Coast Highway.
