Stolen vehicle alert, Wednesday 9 August
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.

Statement from Commissioner Stewart regarding terrorism
Following the charging of two men in Sydney for terrorism-related offences, Police Commissioner Ian Stewart has today moved to reassure the community that there remains no specific threat to Queensland.
Commissioner Stewart said partner agencies had kept the Queensland Police Service (QPS) regularly updated throughout the ongoing counter-terrorism operation.
“We have all been concerned and disturbed at what our interstate and federal colleagues have uncovered in Sydney, but I want to stress that this thorough investigation has been confined to NSW and there is no connection to Queensland,” Commissioner Stewart said.
