Detectives have charged two men following investigations into the alleged armed robbery of a Deception Bay pizza store last month.

It will be alleged the men, one armed with a hammer, entered the store on Bay Avenue around 11pm on October 4.

Police further allege the armed man then jumped the counter and confronted a staff member and made demands for money.

The staff member complied and it will further be alleged the two men left the store on foot with a sum of money.

A 19-year-old Griffin man has been charged with one count of armed robbery and is expected to appear in Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Monday, November 28.

An18-year-old Kallangur man has also been charged with one count of armed robbery and is expected to appear in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Wednesday, November 30.

Officer in Charge of South Moreton Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB), Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Fadian, praised the work of officers in making the arrests.

“Nothing is ever routine or ordinary in policing. You never know where a ‘simple enquiry’ will lead, or where a knock on the door will take you.
“The officers did a great job in investigating this case,” Detective Senior Sergeant Fadian said.
