QUEENSLAND Police are hunting an armed robber (pictured) who threatened two pharmacists while raiding a Gold Coast store earlier this month.
The bandit entered the Runaway Bay pharmacy at 8pm on 02 May wearing a grey hooded jumper with a Star Wars stormtrooper image on the back and a mask "similar to the character Dobby from the Harry Potter films" covering his face.
The suspect then withdrew a handgun as he walked through the store, before walking behind the dispensary as a pharmacist picked up a telephone and retreated into a storeroom with another colleague.
The thief stole an unspecified quantity of medications and a sum of cash before fleeing the pharmacy across Lae Drive and into the Runaway Bay Sport Precinct.
