‘Buxom Bandit’ Robs Gas Station in Australia

A Gold Coast gas station was robbed earlier this week in Australia by the so called ‘Buxom Bandit,’ according to authorities. The suspect, who has blonde hair, was wearing a low-cut shirt when she drove to the gas station with a man. The woman busted into the gas station, walked behind the counter and threatened the clerk with a knife before she left with an unknown amount of cash, according to a police statement.

Police might find it easy to track down the suspect because she made some crucial errors during her robbery of the gas station. The woman did not wear anything to disguise her face during the robbery, which was caught on the surveillance camera. The woman was wearing a black knit cap on her head but failed to pull it down over her face to conceal her identity. It is believed that the couple fled the scene in a 4×4.

The suspect then touched the money with her bare hand, even though the hand she used to wield the knife had a fingerprint concealing glove covering it. Police believe that the woman and her male accomplice are in their 20s. A police spokesperson said, “There were a number of serious threats to harm the attendant and she fled with a small amount of money.”
