About 11pm on Thursday 30 June 2022, two men – aged 32 and 44 – left a fast-food restaurant and were walking along Goonoo Goonoo Road when they were approached by a number of men near the intersection of Greg Norman Drive.
Police have been told the unknown men assaulted the men, before demanding their wallets.
The unknown men continued to assault the men – punching them and ripping one of the men’s shirts off – before they fled the scene with cash.
