Police are searching for two people following two robbery type incidents in Surfers Paradise earlier this morning.
Around 7.25am two women, aged in their 40s, were walking along Gold Coast Highway near Markwell Street when a young woman got out of a dark grey Kia Cerato hatchback and attempted to steal their handbags.
An occupant from a passing vehicle stopped to intervene and after a struggle, the young woman left in the car empty handed.
A short time later around 7.30am a woman walking along Thomas Drive had her handbag stolen by a woman in the same Kia Cerato vehicle being driven by a young man.
The woman sustained scrapes on her knees as a result of the incident.
Police are trying to locate the stolen dark grey 2016 Kia Cerato hatch with Queensland registration 652 XFC.
