Two people have been charged after a woman’s car was allegedly stolen at knifepoint in Townsville last night.
It will be alleged just after 7pm a 23-year-old woman was approached by a man and woman as she walked to her car in a shopping centre carpark on Kings Road, Pimlico.
The pair requested the woman call a taxi for them, and when she refused the man produced a knife and demanded her car keys.
The woman complied and the man and woman drove away in her vehicle, a Holden Cruze.
It is further alleged at about 9.30pm as a result of information received from the public an 18-year-old woman and 19-year-old man were arrested in Kirwan after they were seen running from the stolen car.
A search of the vehicle by officers uncovered a knife believed to be connected to the alleged robbery.
