Police have released a computer-generated image of a man wanted for questioning over a violent home invasion and theft of a vehicle from a home on the Atherton Tablelands.
Detectives from the Tablelands Criminal Investigation Branch have released a Comfit of a man as part of ongoing appeals following the armed robbery of a man in Mareeba on December 15.
According to police information, about seven months ago a man entered a Walsh St home and made threats towards a 59-year-old man.
The offender claimed he was armed with a knife, however, no weapon was produced.
He did, however, according to police, bash the man before fleeing the property in the victim’s car.
Detectives are hoping the digital image may help officers locate the man, who is described as about 18 to 30 years old, 175 to 180cm tall with a thin build, dark medium length hair and of Aboriginal appearance.
Investigations are continuing and anyone with information about the man is urged to contact police.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink by providing information using the online suspicious activity form 24 hours per day at the Queensland Police website.
Report crime information anonymously via Crime Stoppers by calling 1800 333 000 or report online.
