Brisbane detectives are hunting for a man who pulled off a high-priced watch heist, replacing two expensive time pieces with replicas.
The thief's modus operandi was to try on the expensive watch and replace it with a high-end replica.
Police have released security footage of the two heists, which occurred almost exactly a year apart, as the anniversary approaches again this week.
A men's Tag Heuer wrist watch valued at more than $5000 was stolen from a jewellery store in Indooroopilly Shopping Centre between 2.30pm and 2.52pm on January 28, 2015.
He struck again at a jewellery store on Queen Street, Brisbane City on January 27, 2016 about noon, taking a men's Rolex wrist watch valued at more than $15,000.
Brisbane City detectives have released CCTV footage and photographs of a man who may know more about the heists.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
