Stolen vehicle alert, July 6

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.

No permission to trespass, Riverview

Police have been called to numerous complaints of vehicles hooning in private property located at Riverview. Contrary to what many people who access the area think, it is not vacant land. The property is privately owned and the owner has not given permission for anyone to access the land.
People who enter the land are liable to be prosecuted for trespass. Any hooning may result in charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Further, anyone operating a vehicle on the property whilst intoxicated will be charged just as if you were on a road.
Police have stepped up patrols and will continue to do so. We ask you to remember that if you don’t have permission from the property owner to be on the land then you must not access the land. Be respectful of other people’s private property.

If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using
