(9 News) A jewellery store owner has been held at gunpoint during an armed robbery in Queensland which saw two men take more than $200,000 worth of stock.
The men, who appeared to be wearing burqas, entered Rhia Jewellers with guns and threatened the owner of the family-run business, Abdul Azam, on May 22.
A lucrative haul of jewellery, mostly gold, was taken from the store, which is located inside the Calamvale shopping centre.
“I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it, I’ll do it,’ but I kept on backing out just to make sure I could see them both properly, and they (were) getting increasingly frustrated,” Azam told 9News.
