Logan City and Scenic Rim residents who’ve been flouting the lockdown are being targetted in a new campaign.
Police are planning to set up co-ordinated intercepts as part of a crackdown on local roads to catch those who are doing the wrong thing.
Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski says locals need to start obeying the rules
Fed-up police will set up RBT-style checkpoints at intersections to catch lockdown flouters following the worst day for breaches since the pandemic began.
Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski says police would increase their presence on the roads to stop people from breaking strict ‘stay-at-home’ orders by travelling for non-essential reasons.
The lockdown means you can only leave your home for four essential reasons – for medical care or to look after a vulnerable person, groceries, essential work or for exercise within 10km of home.
“Most Queenslanders are doing the right thing but a portion of the community think they can do what they want..
“We’ll start RBT-type stops at intersections to check if people are allowed out for a valid reason”.
