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.

It was Yamanto Police Station’s privilege to host a flag raising ceremony this morning in honour of the commencement of NAIDOC Week.
Inspector Mel Adams chaired the function and introduced our distinguished guests from the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as local politicians, Council, and the police community.
Uncle Val Brown and Aunty Rhonda Collard-Spratt gave beautiful renditions of  Amazing Grace and Mother’s Eyes.  Parts of Amazing Grace were sung in a native language, which is exactly what this year’s NAIDOC week is all about.
The theme of NAIDOC Week 2017, Our Languages Matter, encompasses the importance of remembering and passing down language to the next generation.  It’s a reminder to talk to your grandparents, parents, aunties and uncles about your language and culture. Learn as much as you can from them. Preserve it. There is a great concern that all of these amazing languages will be lost if we

Ipswich detectives are appealing for witnesses after a man received facial contusions and lacerations following an altercation at a Goodna hotel early this morning (Saturday, July 1, 2017).
The man had been playing pool in a room at the rear of the Brisbane Terrace hotel at around 2.30am when he became involved in an altercation with four males.
This quickly escalated with the man being kicked, punched and hit in the face with a glass.
A 38-year-old Goodna man was treated in the Ipswich General Hospital for non-life threatening facial injuries, including sutures to facial lacerations caused by the glass.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information that could assist detectives, are asked to contact police.

Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services Mark Ryan and Commissioner Ian Stewart are aiming to reduce the number of unregistered and unwanted firearms in Queensland through a national firearms amnesty.
From July 1 to September 30, anyone who has an unregistered firearm or firearm-related article in their possession – for whatever reason – will have the chance to legally dispose of it or register it without penalty.
Commissioner Stewart said this is the time to act.
“Not only will all participants avoid prosecution and the risk of being fined up to $60,000, they will also help keep our community safe by ensuring unregistered firearms don’t fall into the wrong hands,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“Here in Queensland, we have made it as easy as possible to participate.
“Firearms and firearm-related items should be handed in at licensed firearms dealers. A detailed list of all participating dealers is on the Queensland Police website at www.police.qld.gov.au. Alternatively,
