Police hunt tavern bandit

Posted October 13, 2008 08:26:00

Police are searching for a man who robbed a tavern on the Gold Coast last night.

They say he threatened a worker at the Varsity Lakes Tavern just before 6:00pm AEST.

Police Superintendent Jim Keogh says the man left in a green car driven by a blonde woman.

"He produced what we believe to be a firearm from beneath his shirt. He got away with a sum of money, so we are going back over the security footage in relation to that job," he said.
