POLICE are hunting for three men after a spate of knife-point service station robberies on Tuesday night.

The first hold-up saw a man in his early 20s brandish a rusty fishing knife and demand cash from the attendant at a Runcorn service station about 6.45pm.

The man, whose face was covered by a red bandana, escaped on foot with about $200 from the Beenleigh Road address.

He is described as being of slim to medium build and about 168cm tall.

Later, a man in his mid to late 20s held up a Beaudesert service station.

The man, wearing a blue bandana across his face, entered the Telemon Street service station about 7pm and threatened the female attendant with a kitchen knife, demanding cash.

After taking cash from the till, he escaped on foot.

About 10pm, a man with a scarf wrapped around his face entered a Wynnum West service station armed with a knife.

He threatened the attendant before fleeing with a sum of cash.
