An armed robber wearing a creepy clown mask has been filmed robbing an Australian convenience store.

The suspect, dressed in all black with a grotesque orange-haired disguise covering their face, threatened the cashier with a firearm as they demanded cash from the shop in Brisbane’s Holland Park suburb.

The hoodlum-turned-clown then fled on foot with the shop’s cash register in their hands.

The cashier was not harmed during the robbery, which occurred on Dec 29 2023, and the footage was released by Queensland Police in a bid to find the robber.

“The offender is described as having a slim build with long dark hair, and was wearing a clown mask, black plants and jumper, blue shoes and was carrying a black backpack,” Queensland Police said in a statement.

”Anyone with information that could assist with investigations is urged to contact police.”
