CLEVELAND CIB detectives are investigating a possible link between armed robberies at Thornlands and Victoria Point last week and a bank holdup at Ascot in Brisbane's northern suburbs yesterday.
Wynnum District Inspector Gerry Costello said police had not confirmed the same man was responsible for the holdups at BWS Thornlands, the ANZ Bank at Victoria Point and the Westpac bank robbery on Thursday .
Acting officer in charge of Wynnum District CIB, Senior Sergeant Justin Suffolk, said the bank on Racecourse Road, Ascot, had been robbed around 1pm.
"It appears he was using a very similar weapon to the other armed robberies, but obviously he was wearing different clothing," he said.
"We're not certain it was the same man."
The man who robbed the Ascot bank is described to be Caucasian, around 180cm tall and of a proportionate build. He was wearing a green cap, a green and blue work shirt, sunglasses and dark blue pants.
