Hungry bandit nabbed while snacking at Toombul Road, Northgate service station

A MAN has been charged with armed robbery after holding up a northside Brisbane service station for food, twice in five minutes.

About 12.45am today, the 24-year-old man approached the console operator at the service station in Toombul Road at Northgate and allegedly threatened to set alight a flask of wine unless he was given food. The attendant gave him three ham sandwiches and he left. A short time later he returned, complaining that ``ham would kill him'' and demanding more food. This time the attendant handed over three bags of chips. He went outside and was eating them on the lawn of the service station when police arrived and arrested him. The man was charged with two counts of armed robbery and is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today. Read more at www.couriermail.com.au
