Queensland police seek four over alleged robbery and bashing

Residents of Redcliffe, north of Brisbane, are being asked for help in identifying four men who allegedly assaulted and robbed an elderly woman and a local man.

In the first incident, a 49-year-old man was allegedly forced onto the ground at the intersection of Sutton and Dix Streets about 7pm on Friday.

He was physically restrained by the men who then stole cash before throwing him into a nearby fence, police say.

A few hours later, a 73-year-old woman was knocked to the ground at Humpybong Esplanade before at least two men emptied her purse of cash and ran away.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
