Three men have been charged with armed robbery after allegedly posing as delivery workers and stealing over $1 million from a Brisbane home. Police allege the men entered the house in Karawatha, dressed in fake uniforms with fake beards and Santa hats, threatened the occupants with handguns, and restrained them with zip ties before fleeing with cash, watches, and jewellery. Detectives are investigating whether the men were linked to the victims or if this was a random opportunistic crime.
