The pizza heist took place after the lads played a late night game of basketball in a park. An Ipswich court this week heard threats were made to shoot and kill the victim, who lay trapped in the boot of a Toyota Corolla during the terrifying ordeal. However, the quick thinking victim used a fork that was in the boot to manipulate the boot lock and jump from the moving car at Goodna.

THREE teenage girls walked into an ice cream shop, took drinks from a fridge and then left saying they were not going to pay.
But the Baskin-Robbins shop attendant gave chase and caught one offender.
One of the girls now 18, and soon to turn 19, went before a judge in Ipswich Children’s Court on Monday to be sentenced for her role in the bungled drinks robbery 16 months after it took place near Caboolture.
The young Ipswich woman pleaded guilty to attempted robbery in company at the Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Morayfield on September 19, 2019.
Prosecutor, legal officer with the Crown, Ms Worthington said the offender was the oldest of the trio and aged 17 years and seven months at the time.
