Thief stripped during robbery
A THIEF lost almost all of his clothes when he robbed a shop on Brisbane's northside early today.
Armed with a small knife, the man entered the 7-Eleven store on Kingsford Smith Drive, Hamilton, and demanded money from the shop attendant.
He jumped the counter and stole cigarettes after the attendant fled the store.
But, the shop attendant returned, armed with a mop and aided by a customer.
He struggled with the offender, removing the man's blue jumper and t-shirt in the process.
The hapless thief then fled the store, chased down by the pair who managed to grab his shoes and singlet and jeans before the thief again escaped.
The man was last seen fleeing with nothing but his red underwear on.
This ain’t the police blotter…
