Detectives are investigating following the attempted armed robbery of a Willowbank service station and armed robbery of a convenience store at East Ipswich last night.
Just after 7:30pm a man entered the Cunningham Highway business armed with a knife.
He demanded money from a member before fleeing the scene empty handed in a vehicle similar to a maroon Mitsubishi SUV.
No one was physically injured during the incident.
Around 9pm the same man entered a Jacaranda Street business at East Ipswich armed with a knife before demanding money from an employee.
He was last seen turning onto Jacaranda Street towards Bundamba with the quantity of money.
The man is described as aged in his late teens or early 20s, approximately 188 centimetres tall, of a slim build and was last seen wearing dark clothing.
Detectives believe the same man is responsible for two other robberies in the same area earlier this month and in January.
