Police have released vision of the moment a man pulls a large knife on a bottle shop worker in Burleigh Heads, as they ramp up their appeal to identify the knife-wielding thief.
The man is accused of storming the West Street bottle-o around 10pm on Tuesday, November 28.
Police say he threatened the worker with the weapon, demanding the staff member hand over cash from the till.
“Once the employee complied, the man fled on foot towards Burleigh Street and Acanthus Avenue with a sum of cash and two bottles of liquor,” Queensland Police said.
A manhunt is continuing for the alleged thief, who is described as being Caucasian in appearance, approximately 175cm tall, aged in his early 20s with an Australian accent.
WATCH:
Police are also appealing to nearby residents and motorists to review their CCTV and dashcam for any relevant vision.
Anyone who recognises the man is urged to contact police immediately.
Investigations are continuing.
