CCTV shows Brisbane jewellery store robbery that leaves owner with brain injuries
A manhunt is underway after four armed thieves robbed a Brisbane jewellery store and attacked the owner before fleeing. The violent robbery unfolded just after 5pm on Tuesday at Shree Ganesh Jewellers on Gympie Rd in Chermside, when the masked men stormed the store, smashing display cabinets with hammers and metal bars. The store owner, 38-year-old Bijaya Sunar, who was working at the time, was struck in the head several times with a hammer. He was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a stable condition. 7NEWS understands Sunar required emergency surgery to remove a haematoma on his brain. The group stole a large amount of jewellery and escaped in a grey Honda CR-V, Queensland registration 495ZJW, believed to have been stolen from Alfred Circuit in Calamvale two days earlier on Sunday. Police have released CCTV footage and images of the suspects, appealing for public assistance to identify them. All four wore balaclavas and dark clothing, and they varied in build and complexion. The first man was captured on CCTV wearing a high-vis, long-sleeved shirt, grey sweatpants, a green and brown cap, and a black balaclava. He is described as having a dark complexion, athletic build, and is believed to be in his late teens or early twenties. The second man was seen wearing a dark hooded jumper with 'Beverley Hills' written across it, a black ski mask-style balaclava, black gloves, and black Nike track pants featuring a white Nike logo on the upper left leg. He is described as having a dark complexion, a large build, and standing over 182cm tall. The third man was dressed in a black hooded jumper, black balaclava, and grey track pants. He is described as having a fair complexion, a proportionate build, and average height. The fourth man was seen wearing a dark hooded Air Jordan jumper, a black ski mask balaclava, and grey track pants. He is described as having a dark complexion, a solid build, and standing at approximately 182cm tall. Police believe the Chermside heist may be linked to another armed robbery at a Lutwyche jewellery store on May 8. In that incident, a group armed with axes and hammers entered the store on Lutwyche Rd at about 1pm, smashed glass cabinets, and stole a significant amount of jewellery. A woman suffered minor injuries from shattered glass, but no other injuries were reported. The group later fled in a white Hyundai Accent Hatchback with Queensland registration 801YLM, which was believed to have been stolen from a home on Samford Rd the day before. Detective Senior Sergeant Ken Rogers said identifying and arresting these offenders was a top priority. 'There is absolutely no place for violent crimes in Brisbane's north,' Rogers said. 'These offences are outrageous. 'We have zero tolerance for anyone who puts our community's safety or their livelihood at risk.' Anyone who recognises the suspects or has information about the vehicles involved is urged to contact police. They used crowbars to smash their way to $500,000 worth of gold. 7NEWS warns some viewers may find these pictures confronting.

New photos show shocking condition of home where murdered Queensland teen Pheobe Bishop lived before disappearance
New photos have revealed the shocking conditions where Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop lived before she was allegedly murdered by her two housemates. Pheobe was reported missing more than three weeks ago in the regional town of Gin Gin after she never boarded her May 15 flight from Bundaberg to Western Australia to visit her boyfriend. The 17-year-old's two housemates James Wood, 34, and his partner Tanika Bromley, 33, have since been charged with Pheobe's murder. The pair have also been charged with two counts each of interfering with a corpse. The Gin Gin property where Pheobe lived with her housemates was declared a crime scene as part of the police probe into the 17-year-old's disappearance. Fresh footage captured by 7News has laid bare the derelict state of Milden Street property, which the media outlet reports was only leased to Ms Bromley about six months ago. The images show the floors strewn with what appears to be furniture debris, clothing and rubbish. Dozens of empty bottles of Coke, Mountain Dew and other soft drinks can be seen scattered on the front porch. Further footage shows piles of trash on beds, garbage bags on the floor, and dog faeces throughout the home. Earlier in the investigation, there were reports a number of dead dogs had removed from the property amid the police investigation. Gel basters could also be seen standing against walls in the home, according to the landlords. The landlords told 7News the property has sustained damage like patched holes on walls and broken locks, which they claim was not there prior to Ms Bromley and Mr Wood moving in. "The air tastes dirty and it smells just … I don't know how people can be breathing in this," one landlord said. The landlords, who said Ms Bromley ticked all the boxes as a tenant when they first met her, claimed she was on the verge of being evicted from the home after it failed its last inspection. They have alleged the 33-year-old ceased contact with the property manager after being handed a notice to leave. The couple, who lived at the Gin Gin address when they were first married, told the media outlet they cannot believe what has happened to their beloved home. A GoFundMe page has been created on behalf of the landlords to help support the repairs and clean up of the property, which they claim will cost thousands. "Our old family house has been devastated by tenants involved with the disappearance of Phoebe Bishop," the fundraising page reads. "My place was once a lovely home with fond memories, and now, not even recognisable. "The time and care that was put into this house was destroyed within three months." The fundraiser said the landlords face "large costs to clean up the property and make it liveable again". "Insurance excess, repairs, the unliveable state of the interior, and the large amount of rubbish items to clean and remove are overwhelming," the GoFundMe reads. The GoFundMe had raised $2,000 out of the $5,000 goal at the time of publishing. The development comes after police last week confirmed human remains had been found in the search for Pheobe. Detectives had scoured surrounding areas near Good Night Scrub National Park in Gin Gin as part of their investigation. Police said further forensic testing will need to be conducted to formally identify whether the remains belong to the 17-year-old.
