Subscriber only A robber who donned a full chemical suit before spraying Coast pharmacy staff with a suspicious liquid and threatening them with a bomb has eluded police for the six years since the shocking crime. The man entered the Twin Waters Pharmacy on Ocean Dr in a hazmat suit about 12.15pm on January 15, 2015 and yelled that he was carrying rat poison and a bomb. The offender spent 40 minutes at the Twin Waters shopping centre before he committed the crime. At the time detectives said they are very concerned that the wanted man was still at large. Sunshine Coast Criminal Investigation Branch officer-in-charge Daren Edwards this week said police were unable to identify the man.
