Gold Coast Teen Stabbed at Doorstep as Police Seize White Mercedes Ute Linked to Attack

Detectives say the assault appears targeted over a possible debt.

Overview

  • Emergency services were called about 7:20pm to Batchworth Road in Molendinar, where two males asked for a 17-year-old by name before he was stabbed at the door.
  • The teen underwent surgery overnight and is recovering, with investigators hoping to speak with him later today.
  • Two offenders fled in a white Mercedes-Benz dual-cab utility that police later found and seized at the Grand Hotel in Labrador.
  • Police believe the incident stemmed from an outstanding debt and say there is no broader threat to the public.
  • Detectives are appealing for CCTV or dashcam footage and information via Crime Stoppers and want to speak with the ute’s 32-year-old registered owner.
