A needle and syringe was used in a Nambour, South East Queensland, armed robbery.
A 34-year-old woman was returning to her vehicle in a supermarket car park when a man approached from behind.
The man, armed with a needle and syringe, demanded money. He left the scene on foot with a sum of cash.
Fortunately, the woman was not physically injured though probably quite shaken in this thankfully rare though not previously unknown incident.
