Police investigating Gold Coast armed robbery and shooting.

Police are on the hunt for a gang of armed offenders believed to be involved in a robbery and subsequent shooting on the Gold Coast.

It’s alleged the group of five men weilding weapons attended a home at Mylor St, Nerang about 3.20am on Thursday.
“They have assaulted a male occupant before stealing a black Suzuki motorbike,” a Queensland Police Service spokesman told the Bulletin.

“One of the offenders left the scene on the motorbike while the others left in the black Nissan Navara they arrived in.

“The 47-year-old male victim was transported to hospital with minor injuries.”

Police believe the same Navara was used in the shooting of a vehicle at Worongary on Friday morning.

“Around 7.40am, the black Nissan Navara was observed near a Newhaven Crescent address when a single shot was fired from the vehicle before it left the scene,” the QPS spokesman said.

“Police monitored the vehicle as it travelled towards Nerang before losing sight of it.”

No one was injured during the shooting.

Both incidents are under investigation and anyone with information, CCTV, or dashcam footage is urged to immediately contact police.

At this stage the robbery and shooting are believed to be targeted and the offenders aren’t thought to pose a wider threat to the community.
