Stolen vehicle alert, July 31
In the past, many vehicles have been taken while the victims were at home.
Keys, mobile phones and cash were also stolen after thieves allegedly gained entry to homes and easily located car keys in plain view.
Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts. Hiding car keys and valuables will make it difficult for offenders to steal your vehicle and other property.
Ask yourself: “Where are my car keys?”
If you can, secure your car in a garage or park your vehicle inside of your yard rather than on the street. This will also assist in the prevention of number plates being stolen.

Students make healthy choices
Year Six students from Goodna State School completed this years Connect to Culture program (C2C) with a presentation on healthy choices and how drugs and alcohol affect our bodies.
This discussion was facilitated by myself, Acting Sergeant Lisa Hillary, with the presentation encouraging student participation. It includes an insight into how making these poor choices can affect a person’s mental health and their whole life.
Rather than just speaking off a PowerPoint, these students benefit from the interactive program and always amaze me with their knowledge and responses.
