Police have released extraordinary CCTV vision of a raid on a Gold Coast tobacco shop in the early hours of Saturday morning as they hunt for the two men responsible.
A white Dodge Ram ute is seen smashing through the shop Reserve Rd, Upper Coomera shop at 3.35am before two masked men jump out of the vehicle.
They are then seen grabbing handfuls of vapes, tobacco products and a till from behind the counter, which they quickly load into empty plastic bins.
The entire robbery takes just four minutes before the vehicle is seen speeding away.
It is believed the ute, which did not have number plates, headed westbound on Tamborine-Oxenford Rd as the raiders made their escape.
Police said “extensive damage” was caused to the business, while a large quantity of “vapes and tobacco items” had been stolen.
“Anyone who has any information about the incident or the people involved, is urged to contact police,” a spokesperson said.
