Two tow truck drivers attempting to move an illegally parked vehicle have allegedly been confronted by a man brandishing a firearm on the Gold Coast.
Around 10pm last night, the two truck drivers, a 29-year-old man and a 21-year-old man, attended a unit complex on Varsity Parade in Varsity Lakes.
While attempting to remove an illegally parked vehicle, the tow truck operators were allegedly confronted by two men, one armed with a firearm, demanding they leave the vehicle alone.
The tow truck operators fled the scene, and police were notified.
When they arrived, police found two men allegedly attempting to remove a wheel clamp from the vehicle.
A subsequent search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered three replica firearms.
A 49-year-old man from Varsity Lakes has been charged over the incident, and is scheduled to appear in Southport Magistrates Court today.
