Police are on the hunt for two masked men who entered the property of a 79-year-old Kingaroy woman late Monday night armed with a knife before stealing her car.

A Queensland Police spokesman said the lady was at home when two people covered from head to toe with full face masks entered her property and demanded her car keys.

“The lady pointed to the keys before the men took the vehicle,” the police spokesman said.

“They were armed with a small knife.”

The incident occurred at approximately 10pm last night February 8 on Macdiarmid Street in Kingaroy.

Police have described the men as having slim builds and approximately 170cm in height.

The stolen vehicle was a 2001 Honda CRV with Queensland registration 239 LDY.
