Stolen vehicle alert, Sunday April 30
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.

Commissioner Stewart responds to media reporting on the Queensland Audit Office report
I want to take this opportunity to clarify a few issues arising from the Queensland Audit Office (QAO) performance audit on criminal justice data.
It has been reported in some media outlets today that the Queensland Police Service (QPS) has been ‘fudging’ or ‘rorting’ crime statistics and that there is a culture of ‘cover-ups’.
I want to be very clear – nothing could be further from the truth.
A thorough reading of the report spells out that the QAO found no corrupt behaviour, systemic or otherwise, during its audit of our crime data.
Yes – the audit found several deficiencies but they are procedural and process anomalies linked directly to the complexity of the environment our officers work in every day. An environment that is rapidly changing.
I am not trying to downplay these issues, but would merely like to put this into context.
And, I am not sugar-coating the issue – there are clearly things
Karana Downs police saddle up and lend a hand
Recently the Australian Trail Horse Riders Association held a four day Easter camp in the Mt Crosby/Kholo region utilising local trails on Brisbane City Council and South East Queensland Water land, with 60 riders in attendance.
The Easter long weekend was also raising funds for Life Flight.
Senior Constables Taneeca Maxwell and Angela Thompson from the Karana Downs Station assisted the riders safely across the Kholo Bridge.
The officers both demonstrated great appreciation for horses on the road, and care and concern for the riders safety.
The Australian Horse Trail Riders Association are most grateful to them for helping out on the day.
