Police are investigating the attempted armed robbery of a chemist in Southport overnight.

At around 9:20pm a man entered the business on Nerang Street and demanded medication.

When the man was refused access to the medication he produced a syringe and threatened a staff member.

The staff member refused again and the man fled the store on foot and was last seen travelling towards Queen Street.

The man is described as Caucasian, approximately 170cm tall, of a thin build, aged in his 40s with a small stubbly beard.

He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, shorts, dark-coloured shoes, and a light-coloured baseball cap.
