Police are appealing for witnesses after a 42-year-old woman was assaulted during a robbery in Thuringowa Central last night, August 19.
Initial investigations indicate at approximately 10pm, a red Holden Colorado dual cab utility was parked outside a shopping centre along Hervey Range Road.
The woman was gathering equipment from the vehicle and was approached by a group of people not known to her, who demanded her keys and assaulted her.
The group then left the scene in the stolen utility, believed to be travelling in convoy with an orange Ford Ranger dual cab utility.
The driver, a 42-year-old Kirwan woman, sustained minor injuries and was transported to Townsville University Hospital for treatment.
Witnesses, particularly anyone with vision of the utilities, is urged to contact police.
