A woman who held up a service station on the Gold Coast of Australia with a knife made a number of big errors along the way that will help police identify her.
Not only did she forget to hide her face, she also wore a revealing top and a glove to conceal her fingerprints on the wrong hand.
She entered the Arundel store on Brisbane Road at about 12.30am and demanded cash from the attendant.
“There were a number of serious threats to harm the attendant and she fled with a small amount of money,” a police spokesman said.
She was wearing a glove on her knife-wielding hand in an attempt to hide her finger prints.
The store employee fought back by hurling things at the woman as she fled outside, where police say a man was waiting for her in a 4WD.
Investigations are continuing.
