Armed thief robs pizza outlet
POLICE are hunting a knife-wielding man who robbed a Caloundra pizza store on Sunday night in the second armed hold up for the Sunshine Coast in three days.
A man entered Domino's Pizza on Bulcock St about 9.15pm on Sunday armed with what appeared to be a knife.
The man demanded money and the attendant handed over cash. The attendant was not physically injured during the incident.
The offender was last seen heading towards Knox Ave.
A store worker yesterday told the Daily that the attendant involved in the incident was doing okay.
The offender was described as Caucasian, about 182cm tall and with a slim build. He was wearing a white hooded jumper and long black pants with a white stripe.
Detective Senior Sergeant Daren Edwards said police were inspecting all CCTV footage around the shop and the area.
Meanwhile, Simon Willett, who allegedly used a toy gun to threaten staff at a 24-hour McDonald's restaurant in Nambour early Friday morning, faced Maroochydore Magistrates Court yesterday morning.
The 20-year-old Tewantin man made an application for bail but was remanded in custody.
The matter was adjourned to May 21. He has been charged with robbery in company while armed.
Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations into the Caloundra robbery should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au.
