A masked man brandishing an axe has robbed a drive-through restaurant after pretending to be a motorbike rider with the bizarre incident captured on CCTV.
The man was videoed walking up to the sliding windows of the business on Herbert Street, Ingham in North Queensland at 2am on Thursday.
He then made gestures in front of one of the windows before approaching another and making off with a wad of cash from the till.
Queensland Police released vision of the armed robbery in a bid to find the culprit after patrols failed to locate the man in the area.
The footage shot from two different angles first showed him with a black, full face covering approaching one of the windows where cars pull up to order food.
