Armed robbery, Helensvale

Police are searching for two men following the robbery of a golf club in which a 60-year-old man was assaulted at Helensvale overnight.

Around 9:40pm two men wearing balaclavas entered a Helensvale residence before one of them struck a male occupant with a baseball bat. The other man also intimated he was armed with a firearm, however, none was sighted.

The pair then forced the man to attend a nearby golf club on Country Club Drive and gain entry to the clubhouse.

Once inside the clubhouse, the men stole a sum of cash before forcing the man into the boot of his own vehicle and driving a short distance along Country Club Drive.

The 60-year-old man was let out of the boot before the pair drove away in the stolen white Hyundai Sonata with Queensland registration 515 HXY.

The man’s wallet and mobile phone was also stolen during the incident.

He was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital with cuts and abrasions to his head and torso.

Anyone who may have seen the vehicle or has any information regarding the matter is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
