Police Investigate Armed Robbery At Mermaid Waters

Police are investigating the armed robbery of a food delivery driver at Mermaid Waters last night, 15 November.

Shortly before 11pm, a 61-year-old man was riding a green 2026 SYM Echs moped southbound on Sunshine Boulevard, when a vehicle pulled in front of him, blocking his path and forcing him to come to a stop.

Three men then exited the vehicle, one of whom appeared to be armed with a knife, and assaulted the 61-year-old rider.

The 61-year-old was wearing protective gear and a full-faced helmet, so was not physically injured during the incident.

The trio then stole the man's moped, mobile phone, wallet and keys.

One rode away on the moped while the other two fled in the vehicle.

Both vehicles were last seen fleeing eastbound on Markeri Street.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Policelink.

Investigations continue.
