April 19, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police are “almost convinced” it is the same man who robbed the United Petroleum service station in Kingaroy twice in just over a week.<\/p>\n

The Youngman Street business, known locally as Ryke Fuel, was robbed at 8:20pm on April 7 and then at 8:40pm on April 15.<\/p>\n

The first time the offender was armed with a large machete and the second time with a tyre lever.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Duane Frank, said police had followed up a number of lines of inquiry but was asking the community for help.<\/p>\n

“We are almost convinced that it is the same offender from his mannerisms and his description,” Snr Sgt Frank said.<\/p>\n

He actively encouraged anyone who may know something – even if it was just a rumour – to contact Kingaroy police on (07) 4160-4900 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800-333-000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We don’t want this to escalate, for him to go to other premises that are open at night time,” Snr Sgt Frank said.<\/p>\n

The bandit has been described as about 178cm tall.<\/p>\n

On the first occasion he was wearing a balaclava, a black hooded jumper, light-coloured long pants and black gloves.<\/p>\n

During the second robbery, he was wearing a black balaclava under a grey hoodie, blue jeans, white sneakers and white gloves.<\/p>\n
