Update 1: Armed robberies appeal, Dalby and Deception Bay

Police are investigating possible links between multiple armed robberies at liquor stores and licensed venues across Dalby and Deception Bay earlier this week.

Initial investigations indicate on Monday, October 9, at approximately 6.30pm, a man entered a business on Nicholson Street in Dalby, armed with a knife and threatened a staff member, before leaving with money and alcohol.

A short time later, the same man entered another business on Bunya Street in Dalby while still armed and threatened the employee of that business, again leaving with money and alcohol.

Neither employee was physically injured.

Last night, October 10, a man entered a business on Bailey Road in Deception Bay around 6.30pm, where he produced a knife and stole money and alcohol.

No one was physically injured, and the man is believed to have fled in a white Toyota Hilux.

Investigators suspect the man left all three incidents in the white Toyota Hilux, being driven by a second person.

Detectives have released vision of a man who may be able to assist with investigations.

He is described as First Nations in appearance, aged in his 40s, approximately 168cm tall, with a slim build, dark brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who recognises the man, or has information about any of the incidents, is urged to contact police.
