Queensland police have charged a 39-year-old man over an alleged armed robbery in Brisbane on December 29 last year.
The moment the alleged gunman in a clown mask robbed a service station in Brisbane was captured on video.
The Mount Gravatt East man was arrested yesterday, and has been charged with one count of armed robbery.
CCTV footage showed a man running into a petrol station on Cavendish Road in Holland Park about 7.30pm on December 29.
He was dressed in a clown mask, black pants and a jumper, blue shoes and was carrying a black backpack.
He was seen approaching the register with what appeared to be a gun pointed at the worker behind the counter.
The clown then appeared to demand cash before running from the store on foot with the entire cash drawer.
“The employee was not harmed during the incident,” police said.
Police tracked the 39-year-old down after an investigation sourced information from the public.
He is due to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
