Fight erupts on Chatswood street as man tries to steal $94,000 worth of gold [that's nearly 56 Troy OZ or around 1.75KG]

A robber remains at large after trying to steal a bag containing gold worth $94,000 from a motorist on Sydney's north shore, police say.

The 50-year-old motorist was dropping a woman passenger off on Thomas Street, Chatswood, just before 2pm on Sunday.

A man tried to steal $94,000 worth of gold from a 50-year-old on Sydney's north shore, police say.

As she got out of the car, the robber got into the car and struck the driver on the face with a metal object.

As the victim started to drive away, the robber jumped out of the moving car and ran down the street with the bag of gold.

The victim gave chase and a fight broke out between the men.

The victim grabbed back the gold and the robber escaped.

Paramedics treated the victim before taking him to Royal North Shore Hospital.

Police have seized items for forensic examination.

It is not known whether the men knew each other.

Pretty unfit robber maybe he should of stayed in the car and gave the fella directions then got a whoopin. :8
I would be leaning towards they knew each other and the robber felt owed.
 
Who drives around with $94k worth of gold in the car? Maybe the robber just wanted the car,but when the guy started to drive off he just grabbed the bag not knowing what was in it.If you caught up with the robber and overpowered him wouldn't you hold him until the police arrived.Interesting.

The thief knew the female passenger? How did the thief know when he was going to drop the female passenger off, and where? Possible setup. I don't know, I'm no detective. :D
