In a significant development, Queensland Police have charged a 41-year-old man in connection with an attempted armed robbery that took place in Wynnum on August 15. Detectives from the Bayside Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) made the arrest following a thorough investigation.

According to police reports, the suspect allegedly entered a business on Edith Street around 5:55 am, wielded a weapon, and demanded cash from an employee before fleeing the scene on foot.
