Police are appealing for public assistance after a woman was threatened with a knife in Yeppoon yesterday, April 18.
Initial investigations indicate at approximately 4.30am, a 42-year-old Barlows Hill woman was walking towards a gym on Hill Street when she was approached by a man, armed with a large knife.
The man demanded her keys and stole the woman’s car, a grey 2017 Kia Carnival.
The woman was not physically injured.
Police believe the same vehicle has driven for approximately 10 kilometres along Yepoon-Rockhampton Road on the wrong side of the road, before it crashed into a Richardson Road property.
The driver left the scene in another stolen car, a white 2008 Nissan X-Trail.
Early yesterday morning, April 18, the Nissan X-Trail was involved in a break in at a Tamby Road sporting business where a large quantity of clothing was stolen.
