Armed robbers ambush tavern manager
Police say the thieves who robbed a Gold Coast tavern on the weekend ambushed the manager.
Two armed men wearing balaclavas locked the manager of the Fisherman’s Wharf Tavern into a safe room of the building in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Detective Inspector John Hartwell says there was no warning.
“The manager’s gone out to secure the rear gate and was confronted by the offenders,” he said.
“A gun was produced and he was told to turn around and they have let themselves into the safe room.
“When asked for the keys to the ATMs in the tavern area, he said he didn’t have access. He was then hit with one of the firearms and he then produced the keys.”
