Gold Coast police are searching for a man who threatened a cashier with a gun in a brazen early morning robbery.
Police have released CCTV footage of the man who robbed a Southport service station on Wednesday at about 1am.
Police said the man entered the Marine Parade fuel station where he threatened a shop assistant with a gun and demanded money from the cash register.
The video shows the man walking calmly into the fuel station before strolling over to the fridge to grab a can of Coca Cola.
He then walks up to the cash register as if to pay for the drink and two chocolate bars, but instead he unzips his jacket and points inside.
The cashier is shown handing over the cash drawer to the man who grabs a sum of money.
He calmly walks out of the service station.
Detectives from Southport Criminal Investigation Branch are urging anyone who may recognise the man to come forward.
Witnesses or anyone with relevant vision are urged to call police on 131 444.
Investigations are continuing.
