Armed with guns, the men allegedly forced their way into the home and restrained the people inside while making verbal threats.

Police allege the men stole money from several different currencies and watches before fleeing the home in a white van.

CCTV footage shared by police shows the men allegedly leaving the home in the van while dressed in Santa hats.

Ten days later on January 13, police from Acacia Ridge CIB raided a property in Greenbank, two cars and storage units in Ormeau.

The search allegedly uncovered the stolen cash, guns and drugs.

Officers arrested a 33-year-old man, a 39-year-old man and a 28-year-old man and took them into custody.

They were charged with three counts of armed robbery with personal violence and deprivation of liberty and one count of entering a home to commit an indictable offence.

The men aged 33 and 39 will front court on March 4.

The third man, aged 28, is expected to appear in court today.

Police are appealing for anyone who might know where the stolen watches are or who have been targeted by the alleged fake business.

Acacia Ridge CIB Acting Senior Sergeant Denis Silk described the alleged crime as “highly organised”.

“We have zero tolerance for anyone who seeks to jeopardise the safety of our community,” he said.

“Any offender who thinks they can get away with crimes of this nature will be found and held to account for their actions.”
