Man charged over 1999 police shooting but $500k reward still on offer in search for two more men
Queensland police have had a major breakthrough in “Australia’s only unsolved police shooting”, where an officer was shot during a 1999 bank heist.
Key points:
- Police say they received new information after offering a reward last month
- The $500,000 reward money is still on offer
- It is the only unsolved police shooting in Australia
A 49-year-old Brisbane man was arrested in the Logan area yesterday, after a search of seven properties in Logan, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
The man appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning charged with a total of 13 offences, including attempted murder, armed robbery with violence and deprivation of liberty.
He was denied bail and is due to face court again on February 8.
