Police have released new information about two people allegedly involved in an armed robbery and assaults at Morayfield on Sunday.
Around 5:45 on Sunday morning, a man and woman went to a service station on the Bruce Highway, where they allegedly assaulted two women and unsuccessfully tried to steal their vehicles.
The man, believed to be a 35-year-old from Granville, is described as Caucasian in appearance, with short, dark, buzz-cut-style hair and brown eyes.
The man also has distinctive tattoos on the left side of his face and along his left arm and hand.
The woman, believed to be a 26-year-old from Maryborough, is described as Caucasian in appearance, with blonde hair with brown regrowth, dark-coloured eyes, and distinctive minor tattoos on both sides of her face, near her eyes.
The pair then allegedly assaulted the driver of a red Mitsubishi Outlander, before stealing the SUV and taking off northbound on the Bruce Highway.
Police allege the two offenders threatened the three drivers with a firearm during the incidents.
At 11:15am, police received information the Outlander had crashed into trees near a property on Old Caloundra Road in Glenview, on the Sunshine Coast, and a man and woman were seen fleeing on foot.
Officers declared an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act, however, following an extensive search of the area, the pair were unable to be located.
A homemade firearm was found near the vehicle.
Officers have seized both the Mitsubishi and the gun for forensic testing.
Investigators are appealing to the man and woman to contact police and surrender themselves into custody.
