A second man has been charged over the shooting of a police officer during a bank robbery south of Brisbane almost 24 years ago.
Senior Constable Neil Scutts was shot when police responded to the National Australia Bank branch in Browns Plains on March 24, 1999.
The injured officer underwent emergency surgery after the bullet missed major arteries by millimetres.
His firearm, a Sturm Ruger .357 six-shot revolver, was stolen and is yet to be recovered.
The offenders wore off-white plastic masks, surgical-style gloves and carried two-way radios. They fled on foot, taking two staff members as hostages before stealing a vehicle at gunpoint.
A third person acted as a lookout.
Police had a breakthrough in the investigation in December 2020 after doubling the reward to $500,000, charging a Browns Plains man with attempted murder.
Police are expected to update the details of the arrest on Tuesday.
