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.

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.
