Gold Coast robbery and arson suspect facing charges
A man has been charged with arson and attempted robbery after a chaotic incident at a popular shopping area in Gold Coast. The series of events started at 6:25pm yesterday when a 41-year-old man allegedly entered a business on Surfers Paradise Boulevard armed with a gel blaster and a jerry can. Things quickly took a turn for the worse as he reportedly assaulted a female worker and demanded money from her and her 68-year-old male friend before leaving the premises.

The situation escalated when the alleged offender returned to the business and got into a physical altercation with the 68-year-old man. The victim suffered injuries to his face and neck, which fortunately were not life-threatening. However, the chaos didn't end there as the 41-year-old man is then accused of setting fire to the business's foyer before making a run for it.

Thankfully, the police were able to track down the suspect at a nearby property on Cavill Avenue and arrested him. He is set to appear in court today to face charges including attempted robbery, assault, and obstructing a police officer. This incident serves as a reminder to always be vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to the authorities.
