Qld: "Heavy night" followed by knifepoint robbery
BRISBANE, Dec 2 AAP - A man sleeping off a heavy night in a friend's Gold Coast garden
has been robbed at knifepoint.
The 26-year-old was woken in Pine Ridge Road, Coombabah, by two young men at about
4am (AEST) today.
They offered him a lift and, once in the car, told the man that they were "undercover cops".
One of the men threatened the man with a knife and demanded that he write down his
pin number so that they could withdraw money from his bank account.
The man gave them the pin number, his wallet and mobile phone and was driven to an
ATM at nearby Labrador Park Shopping Centre.
He managed to escape before they arrived at the shopping centre.
The offenders are described as caucasians of medium build and in their mid 20s.
The car was a medium-sized sedan.
