Police Update 4: Fatal Traffic Crash, Murrumba Downs

Detectives have charged a 21-year-old man following investigations into a robbery and fatal traffic crash at Murrumba Downs on Thursday, November 7.

Officers executed a search warrant at an Annerley address yesterday, November 11, in relation to allegedly linked offences involving a stolen orange Holden Barina hatchback.

The Barina was allegedly stolen from a Northgate property between November 6 and 7.

It is alleged the occupants of the Barina, including a 16-year-old boy and 35-year-old woman, both from Caboolture, as well as a 21-year-old man from Annerley, arrived at a Dohles Rocks Road address in Griffin around 9.30am Thursday, where the 16-year-old boy allegedly exited the vehicle, threatened a woman with a firearm and stole a blue Audi, that was later involved in the fatal crash at Murrumba Downs.

The 16-year-old boy and 35-year-old woman have previously been charged and their cases are before the courts.

The 21-year-old Annerley man was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of attempted robbery whilst in company and armed, and one count each of robbery in company whilst armed and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

He is expected to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court today, November 12.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
